GALLERY 19

Gallery 19 was established by Gordon French in 1995. A painter as well as an avid collector of architectural and classical prints Gordon had not found one outlet in London which satisfied his requirements. When the opportunity arose to lease the premises on the corner of Thackeray Street and Kensington Court Place, Gallery 19 opened its doors... Gallery 19 has always been a niche gallery with a very particular look. Gordon hangs the gallery with the same ethos he has hung paintings in every house he has ever lived in. In fact, when the gallery opened Gordon's own house was raided for paintings to fill the walls. In addition to Gordon's original paintings of Kensington and Italy, Gallery 19 represents a small stable of painters with highly individual yet complementary styles. Over the years the gallery collection has grown to include architectural bookends, leather bound journals, house portraiture and out-of-print books on the Royal Borough.
