James Harvey British Art in particular specialises in little known artists of the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as traditional figurative contemporary art. Keen to avoid the snobbery and froideur often associated with high end art dealing, Harvey shuns a traditional gallery setting and displays paintings in his Chelsea home in the hope of creating a comfortable, relaxed viewing atmosphere. James Harvey British Art is a subsidiary company of the high-end antiques dealer Mallett, and has recently incorporated the Christopher Wood Gallery, becoming one of the leading dealers in traditional British painting.
