A View and a Half, a framed limited edition giclee print on paper from artist Sam Toft.
After a lovely but long day out, Ernest, Violet and Doris decide to finish off the day admiring the sunset as it falls down beneath St Michael's Mount. There's nothing quite like relaxing quietly, all bundled up with your loved ones. At least Ernest and Violet think so, Doris on the other hand might have other ideas...
Sam’s characters, ‘The Mustards’ have a legion of loyal fans. She has described herself as their Official Picture Maker and Story Teller for the past 20 years. They are her imaginary friends, helping her make sense of a world that sometimes seems stranger than fiction; never more so than current times.
Ernest and his dear lady wife Violet live in a not-so damp basement flat on the Brighton Hove border, with Doris, their grumpy and rather portly Jack Russell Terrier, and an ever increasing menagerie of eccentric pets. They inhabit a seaside world of faded ice cream colours where the breeze is always blowing and life is utterly delicious.
We are thrilled to offer for sale a beautiful collection of long sold out Sam Toft limited editions. The current owner purchased most of her collection from Nan Mustard (Sam’s Mum) at Mustardshop, so there are some really special pieces.
A recent move to Yorkshire has meant there now isn’t enough wall space for this stunning collection, so the owner is reluctantly selling, wanting to re-home the pictures somewhere they will be appreciated and loved. Where better to bring them than The Braithwaite Gallery in York, northern home of all things Tofty for more than two decades, and Sam’s biggest fans!
The limited editions are all framed in the same distressed champagne colour moulding, with non-reflective glass, and were framed by The Framing Centre in Fareham.
A View and a Half: image size approximately 330x405mm with outer frame dimensions of approximately 380x455mm.
The print and frame are in good condition. This is Edition 2 of 22.
This is one of Sam's self published editions, of just 22 prints.
We can only ship framed items within the UK, however if you would like the picture shipping internationally, we can of course take the picture out of the frame. Please get in touch via the ‘contact us’ option at the top of the page for a shipping quote.
As with all secondary market work, the print and frame are not new, and are therefore ‘sold as seen.’ We have endeavoured to describe to condition as accurately as possible.
