Miles Barton is a dealer in period paintings from the 17th through to the early 19th centuries. Concentrating particularly on portraiture, at any given time available works might include a Stuart courtier or a Napoleonic officer. By being diverse within a specialist field he has been able to regularly provide works for both private collectors and institutions whether they be oil paintings, drawings, pastels, or engravings. Through the London outlet in the famous Portobello Road, most works are available for viewing at the weekend, as well as during the week by appointment.

Recent discoveries have included works by major artists such as Gerrit van Honthorst, Sir Godfrey Kneller, Mary Beale and John Riley, to name but a few. The ever changing stock also covers less well known painters, including outstanding examples by unknown hands. If you are after something particular then please make contact. A good selection of the type of works handled can be viewed through the sold pages. Offering a high level of service, including historical research and authentication, clients can buy with confidence from the range of pictures, and occasionally other complimentary works of art, offered in the catalogue.
