SCOTTISH PAINTINGS & SCULPTURE

Lyon & Turnbull’s Scottish Paintings & Sculpture specialists host two auctions per year live online and from our historic Edinburgh HQ. Successfully selling around 90% of Scottish Colourist works handled in the last nine years, a record unmatched by our competitors – selling Scottish art in Scotland has always been a Lyon & Turnbull lynchpin. Our specialists are experts not only on the works of Scottish artists, but also on the workings of the art market, and it is this combination that fuels our on-going success in the field.

This December, in celebration of 150 years of Samuel John Peploe, we are delighted to announce Scottish Colourist S.J. Peploe at 150 - a dedicated section of our forthcoming Scottish Paintings & Sculpture auction that will bring the renowned artist's work to the fore. Join our celebration of Peploe by consigning to our highly-anticipated December 2021 auction now.

 
Our Specialist Auctions

Our Scottish Paintings & Sculpture auctions feature work from the 18th to the 20th century, from the Romantic landscapes of Alexander Nasmyth and portraiture of Allan Ramsay and Sir Henry Raeburn, to the highly collectable works of Joan Eardley and Anne Redpath. All Scottish Art movements are represented, including the Glasgow Boys, the Edinburgh School and, of course, the Scottish Colourists: Peploe, Fergusson, Hunter and Cadell.
