19th Century Oil Paintings
About Our 19th Century Collections
Please enjoy our "19th Century Collection" of American and European paintings that were executed between 1830 and 1930. This unique collection was curated over a thirty year period by the owners Bob & Sheila Keller. The Kellers often travel across America and throughout Europe to meet with local gallery owners, collectors, pickers, auction houses, and private estate brokers to gain "first to market" status for works that have been hanging on the same walls where they were placed in the mid to late 1800s through early 1900s.

Typically, we curate our 19th century paintings through our network of art brokers in London, Paris, Copenhagen, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. This thirty year partnership along with our personal visits to these and other art centers worldwide provide "first to market" access to private collections, antique markets and estate auctions/sales and other fine art and objet 'd art resources....The works that we curate are generally in "as found" and un-restored condition and often without their original frames.

With that said, our mission is to search out the best of the best art available on planet earth....purchase them from reputable sources, have them crated and shipped to our Pittsburgh, PA location, and then prepared for exhibition by our formidable art conservation and restoration studio. After extensive research, paintings are evaluated and assigned a fair wholesale price for resale to galleries, designers, collectors and enthusiasts. We also offer individual works from our collections to the retail trade through our physical gallery located at 8275 Ohio River Boulevard in Pittsburgh, PA. 15202.
Many of the paintings housed in the Eclectic Art Gallery collections are centuries old and may have been stowed away in an attic, or barn loft after one of the world wars while others were sold off the walls of an old castle or French chateau, while others may have been found at ArtEXPO NY, Chicago, or LA, or in tiny art fairs, estate sales, street markets, or from a little art gallery in Bermondsey Square on Tower Bridge Road in London or the famous market...“Le Marché aux Puces de Saint Ouen” (Porte de Clignancourt Paris). But, regardless of their provenance, or where we find them, they are all masterpieces that need to be saved, respected, and given a place of honor as part of our cultural legacy!
