Cape Breton For Sale on 1stDibs

Find the exact cape breton you’re shopping for in the variety available on 1stDibs. There are many contemporary, Impressionist and abstract versions of these works for sale.

On 1stDibs, the right cape breton is waiting for you and the choices span a range of colors that includes gray, black, brown and white. There have been many interesting cape breton examples over the years, but those made by John James Audubon, Amy Friend, Henry Ryan MacGinnis, Howard Lewis and Max Kuehne are often thought to be among the most thought-provoking. These artworks were handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in paint, acrylic paint and synthetic resin paint. A large cape breton can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller cape breton, measuring 8 high and 14 wide, may better suit your needs.
