Harold Riley DL, DLitt, FRCS, DFA, ATC (1934-2023)

Crowther Street Stockport

Signed by Harold Riley and L S Lowry, with an oil sketch of a young man to the reverse, oil on canvas, 49cm by 39cm

Provenance: A gift from the artist to the vendor's father

£15,000-20,000

Harold Riley and Lowry often embarked on joint ventures together over their thirty-year friendship, having first met in 1945 when the latter presented Riley with an award for first prize at a Salford Grammar School art exhibition. However, these were usually works on paper, making this fully finished oil painting a rarity. This scene depicts Crowther Street in Stockport, a landmark re visited by Lowry throughout his lifetime.

Tennants Modern & Contemporary Art sale in March 2023 saw the sale of a pencil drawing by Lowry titled “The Stepped Street”, a depiction of Crowther Street that sold for £70,000 hammer. (see image). Shortly after leaving Art School in 1928, Lowry sought to record locally threatened architectural gems such as Crowther Street, which was later partially demolished leaving only the right-hand portion. This also indulged his love of steps as subject matter. Though somewhat changed since the artist’s day and with far fewer people than in Riley’s view, the cobbled street is still recognisable to this day.

Condition Reports

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to Prospective Buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale. A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the Seller. We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.

Caveat Emptor

The principle of caveat emptor applies to the sale of all goods sold at auction by us. Furthermore, we have no control over the condition of any item offered for sale.

Additional Images

Requests for additional images of items in the sale can made up to 48 hours before the Day of Sale.

Online Bidding

We offer an online bidding service via our own platform - Tennants Live Bidding at www.tennants.co.uk. Items purchased via this platform will be subject to an additional 1.5% commission charge plus VAT at the prevailing rate. We also offer online bidding via www.the-saleroom.com for prospective buyers who cannot attend the sale. Items bought via this platform will be subject to an additional 4.95% commission charge plus VAT.

By completing registration on www.the-saleroom.com and providing your credit/bank card details and unless alternative arrangements are agreed with us, you;

(a) authorise Tennants, if they so wish, to charge the credit/bank card given in part of full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the auction via www.the-saleroom.com; and

(b) confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit/bank details to Tennants through www.the-saleroom.com and agree that Tennants are entitled to permit the shipping of the goods to the card holder and card holder address provided in fulfilment of the sale.

We do not accept any liability for any losses, however arising, as a result of a prospective buyer’s use of www.the-saleroom.com. Use of www.the-saleroom.com is subject to separate terms and conditions which do not form part of these conditions.

Absentee Bidding

Whilst reasonable endeavours will be made to execute absentee bidding up to the Day of Sale, Tennants will not be liable for any default or neglect in connection with this service. All such arrangements therefore are made entirely at the Prospective Buyer’s risk.

VAT

Value added tax or any equivalent tax chargeable in the UK or elsewhere.

AML Due Diligence

We conduct appropriate Due Diligence checks to comply with current Anti Money Laundering regulations for any buyer exceeding the threshold of £8,000. We reserve the right to withhold the purchased lots until such checks have been completed.

Agency

We act as agents for the Seller, whose details remain confidential. If you buy at auction your contract is with the Seller, not us.

Picture Descriptions

The forename(s) (or asterisks where not known) and surname of the artist indicates, in our opinion, a work by the artist named.

The initials of the forename(s) and the surname of the artist indicates in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be wholly or in part his work.

The following terms apply in our determination of a picture description:

(a) “Attributed to” - is in our opinion probably a work by the artist.

(b) “Studio of” - is in our opinion a work from the studio of the artist which may or may not have been executed under his direction.

(c) “Circle of” - is in our opinion a work of the period of the artist executed under his immediate influence.

(d) “Follower of” - is in our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil.

(e) “Manner of” - is in our opinion a work in a style related to that of the artist, but of a later date.

(f) “School accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date” - means that in our opinion the picture was executed at that time and in that location; e.g. Flemish School, 17th century.

(g) “After” - an artist is in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by that artist.

(h) “Signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription” - are from the hand of the artist.

(i) “Bears signature and/or dated and or inscription means that in our opinion the artist’s name and/or date and/or inscription” - have been added by another hand.

Telephone Bidding

Requests for telephone bidding must be registered at least one hour prior to the close of the View Day. We will not accept requests on the Day of Sale. Telephone Lines are booked on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to a minimum lot value of £500 for Fine Art Sales and £200 for all other sales.

(j) All references to signature, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work.

(k) Dimensions are given height before width and do not include the frame

(l) Pictures are framed unless otherwise stated.

Droit de Suite/ Artists’ Resale Rights

All items in this catalogue that are marked with “✓” are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge (set out below) will apply if the Hammer Price is more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000. The royalty charge will be added to purchase invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are paid to either the Design and Artists Copyright Society (“DACS”) or the Artists’ Collecting Society (“ACS”) by the auctioneers, and no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these changes will be retained by the auctioneer.

From 14 February 2006 United Kingdom art market professionals (which includes auctioneers) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by living artists, and those who have died within the last 70 years. This payment is calculated on qualifying works of art which are sold for a Hammer Price more that the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 (the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing exchange rates). It is the responsibility of the Buyer to acquaint themselves with the actual Euro to UK sterling exchange rate on the Day of Sale. The actual qualifying threshold will be calculated by the “Artist’s Resale Right Service Hub” based on the “European Central Bank” reference rate published at 2.15pm on the Day of Sale and can be found on www.dacs.org.uk

The royalty charge for qualifying items which achieve a Hammer Price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 is as follows:

Up to €50,000 – 4%

€50,000.01 to €200,000 – 3%

€200,000.01 to €350,000 – 1%

€350,000.01 to €500,000 – 0.5%

Exceeding €500,000 – 0.25%

For further information please visit www.dacs.org.uk or www.artistscollectingsociety.org. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.

Method of Payment

Payment is accepted online via our website. Card payments where the card holder is not present will only be accepted for transactions up to £500.

Payment can be made and purchases collected during the auction. All accounts must be settled within 14 days of the sale. Accounts not paid within 14 days will automatically be subject to an interest charge of 5% above base rate from the day of sale.

Collection

All purchases must be collected from our Leyburn offices, unless stated otherwise, within seven days of the Sale (Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.00pm).

Despatch/Delivery
