With the brilliants floating around FR I know some freeper out there will be able help me on a piece of antique art I was given. It's called, "The Punch Bowl (A Mystery) Painted by Dendy Sadler." That's all the information I have other than this photo (below) from a website.

 

My framed print looks really old. The colors aren't that bright. And I don't know much about the Artist or these prints. I was hoping some freeper might have more information this. I couldn't find much on the web. Thanks for your help.

Is it an original painting or a print?

Here's a few by that painter on eBay.

Tell us more about it. Tell us everything you know but don’t reveal anything personal about yourself, because it could be valuable - or, on the other hand, it could be worthless - and there’s a lot of fraud out there in the art world.

It’s a print.

Must have been painted by this guy........

Google: The Punch Bowl Dendy Sadler

Read again. You missed “these prints”. There is your answer.

The artist is Walter Dendy Sadler and here's a page with lots of information as well as a discussion board about this artist where your question could probably be answered.

Good luck!

I don't see any stems or seeds......

It’s very modern looking and I don’t think it’s valuable. But in might be nice to hang in the bar or study or wherever it is that you have your evening drinkies...

Don’t listen to him! Dendy did the Elvis on velvet paintings. ;o)

I wish I knew more about it. It looks really old. The print is of the picture I posted. Not quite as good a quality as that picture. It’s framed in an old dark stained clam shell frame. There seems to be a signature on the back of a Doctor. I couldn’t make it out. Underneath the print it has the words, “PAINTED BY DENDY SADLER” and Centered beneath the print are the words, “THE PUNCH BOWL” and below that centered are the words “(A Mystery).” The colors in the print have faded to a point that at first glance it could be mistaken as black and white. But after a closer look you are able to make out the colors.

If I take a picture of it and I post it will that help anyone?
