20 High St 'staples' Fine Art Dealers

I have found a picture which was sold from Staples the fine art dealers in Bromley. The label on the picture says at the time they had another shop in Croydon. I am searching to find out what sort of gallery/dealer they were. Were they really high end art dealers? and what sort of painters they sold for ?

This relates to one of my ancestors.

The 2nd shop was 43 Mint Walk Croydon.

But I’m afraid I don’t know if they were really high end. However I do know that by marriage, they had links to artists from the impressionist era. So I’d like to think, they were genuine 😉

Hope this helps
