    A painter, engraver, poet and author, Jones was born in Kent. He studied at Camberwell School of Art and then Westminster School of Art before entering Eric Gill’s community at Ditchling in 1921, where he joined the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic and was taught wood engraving by Desmond Chute, later leaving with Gill for Wales to develop and refine his techniques.

    Much of Jones’ work was for the Golden Cockerel Press, with illustrations for Gulliver’s Travels (1925), the Book of Jonah (1926), and finally The Chester Play of the Deluge (1927), though he also produced a number of his own written works, the most important of which include The Roman Quarry, In Parenthesis, and The Anathemata. He was later appointed CBE in 1955.

    The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

    Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

    Just received my Kang-hyo Lee teacup. In perfect condition. I’m so happy with it and I think the international service offered by Goldmark is superb. The staff are so kind and extremely efficient and professional.
