FAQs

Equestrian art gained immense popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, often commissioned by wealthy landowners and aristocracy to document prized racehorses, hunters, and stable yards.

Traditional pieces typically feature oil pigments applied to stretched canvas or wooden panels, framed in ornate carved wood or gilt moulding.

Authenticity is assessed by examining canvas ageing, craquelure in the oil paint, hand-carved stretcher bars, historical framing, and artist signatures or stamps on the reverse.

Such artworks serve as striking focal points in traditional or transitional spaces, pairing particularly well with dark wood furnishings, leather upholstery, and neutral wall colours.

Preserve the integrity of the canvas by keeping it out of direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity levels, and dusting gently with a soft, dry brush without using liquid cleaners.
