"Just to let you know that the picture arrived safely with me today. Always a bit wary of buying a picture online but very pleased I did – it’s great. … I have bought several things from you since then and they always arrive in good condition, carefully packed and as described on the website."

Ali H, UK
"I have had several successes with Somerset and Wood since I first heard about you, in fact I have been delighted with everything I have bought from you. I particularly love a stunning watercolour of a pumpkin ... Now in an old fruitwood frame, it adorns a wall in my kitchen (among other food-related items) and frequently receives compliments."
Michael L, UK
"I am very pleased and grateful for this opportunity to keep these intriguing works together, which shall be a pleasure to own. I am delighted also that you understand my reasoning which shows that you are absolutely in the right profession! I wish you and all at Somerset & Wood best wishes for your success."

Prof. Nancy Ramage, USA
"Just a quick note to let you know that the book and watercolors arrived safe and sound. Thanks again. I hope to have many more opportunities to do business in the future."
Rebecca R, USA
"I have just bought an 1816 graphite sketch of what appears to be a cottage on the Hintlesham Hall estate... my Grandfather bought the cottage amongst 10 others when it came up at auction in the 1930s when he bought the neighbouring farm. My Father now lives in the farm... and I will inherit it myself in the future! ... My Father who is now 73 will be thrilled. It is £28 but to me priceless as there are so few mentions of the cottage as it sat at the edge of the estate and tucked away from the world... Thanks again. You have made my Christmas and an amazing, rare 200 year return home!"
James B, UK
"Just a quick note to thank you for the delightful set of watercolours I have just received. Beautifully packed and presented. These are a gift for my three grandsons who live in Paris - so in a sense the paintings are 'going home'. I am sure they will appreciate the notes in French which add greatly to the interest. I have a number of other pictures I like in your catalogue. I will be returning. It is a pleasure to deal with an efficient, professional company!"
Sarah D.G, UK
Just a short note to give you some indication how the information you provided allowed me to track the provenance of this drawing backwards. I would never have been able to do this without your help.
Dr Dennis L, Canada
