Description
William R Stone
British, (1839-1889)
River Thames at Isleworth with All Saints Church & The London Apprentice Pub
Oil on canvas, signed with monogram
Image size: 17.5 inches x 31.5 inches
Size including frame: 23 inches x 37 inches
A charming river landscape view of the Thames at Isleworth with All Saints Church & The London Apprentice inn. In the foreground, a small boat containing four figures can be seen rowing across the river. Meanwhile, other figures are shown working at a small quay situated on the opposite side in front of the All Saints Church and The London Apprentice inn. The quay was the site of the Isleworth Ferry which first operated during the reign of Henry VII and crossed from the steps in front of the church and along the Thames to Old Deer Park in Richmond. The London Apprentice is a Grade II listed Georgian pub which was first recorded as a licenced inn around 1731 and continues to operate today. All Saints Church was built during the 14th century with the main part being rebuilt during the 18th century. In 1943 a fire destroyed most of the church with only the tower remaining. The present church was reconstructed in 1970 incorporating the original tower.
William Richard Stone was born in Sidmouth, Devon in 1839, the son of Thomas Taylor Stone and Ellen Stone. His father was a master carver and gilder and he initially followed in his footsteps working as a carver gilder. By the 1860’s he was living in London and married Georgiana Matilda Meadows, the daughter of a carver gilder, on 7 May 1869. Together, they had 3 children and lived in Charing Cross for a time.
During the 1870’s, Stone established himself as a successful landscape artist. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and Suffolk Street and became a member of the Royal Society of British Artists. He painted rustic scenes usually with the inclusion of figures and worked around Kent and Surrey as well as Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Wales. By 1881, Stone and his family had moved to Lancaster Road, Kensington. He died in Richmond, Surrey on 12 March 1889.
Examples of his work can be found in museums such as the Dudley Museum, Birmingham Museum, Radnorshire Museum, Wales and the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery.
Presentation: The work is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having just been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
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.
