Description
When we first saw one of Robert Arthur Bramwell's sketches poking out of some tatty cardboard folder at an auction, we knew we'd struck gold! We had no idea the amount of work (and painting materials/equipment) we would later come home with but we are mighty pleased we did.
We purchased two big folders of Robert’s work back in May 2016 and were told he had recently passed away. Ever since, we’ve made numerous attempts to find out more about the artist but without any luck.
In May 2017 we found a phone number on a delivery note attached to some art supplies addressed to Robert. We decided to give it a ring but unfortunately, the number was no longer in use. Once again we had hit a dead end and were resigned to the fact that we may never know anything about him.
Later that day Robert’s daughter, Rebecca sent us an e-mail!!!
She was browsing Etsy and came across her dad’s drawings in our store and told us everything we’d always wondered. She was even kind enough to share several photos of Mr Bramwell with us.
Born in Chesterfield on 14th November 1934, Robert studied painting at Newcastle in the late 50s and moved to Chester where he worked as an art teacher.
Robert later took early retirement, moving first to Liverpool and then to Carlisle about 15 years ago to be nearer family.
Sadly he contracted mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos which was the unfortunate cause of his death on 7th March 2016.
Having been surrounded by Robert’s drawings on a daily basis, we’ve become somewhat unknowingly attached to this man whom we’ve never met while also forming a deep routed respect and appreciation for his work. Rebecca told us he was a very modest man and therefore his work was never brought to light. So, you can imagine how pleased we were to tell her that his drawings have been sent all over the world with nothing but great things said about them.
The pastel portrait we have listed here like a lot of his work, features the naked form, signed and dated Feb 1988. Theres a real melancholy feel and vulnerability to Robert’s work and he has such a refined and unique style that we are huge admirers of, incase it wasn’t obvious already.
We feel these pieces are sketches that he would later form a final painting from. He most likely never intended for them to be proudly displayed like we have done. As such, there are some bent corners, discolouring to the the paper and marks/smudges elsewhere to the white space.
Measures approximately 59.5cm wide and 84cm tall (A1).

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
