One of the oldest privately owned artist’s shops in Europe – established 1927. Green and Stone is not beholden to any of the large manufacturers of artist’s materials but prefer to concentrate on the highest quality available. Price is not an issue, but value is. This does not mean that everything is expensive! Far from it, there are some wonderful oil paints for instance, hand made by Michael Harding, which are cheaper than the mass production paints of Winsor and Newton.

Look out for stunning original leather and canvas bags for artists and travellers alike. When you visit the shop, which is on two floors, you will find it is divided up into separate categories. There is an area for craft, modelling and children’s paints, a different section for the picture framing and restoration, another for writing and pens, as well as gifts and antiques!

Green and Stone sell a wide range of antique artist and writing materials along with some wonderful modern art gifts. Some of our original antique watercolour boxes date back to 1790.

In the framing section, every frame is made individually by hand, including the hand decorated mounts. Photograph frames in silver, walnut and elm can be purchased from stock. Green and Stone has been described, many a time, as the ‘Most interesting and friendly shop in London’!
