FAQs

Eighteenth-century watercolours typically employed a transparent wash technique on handmade paper, often starting with monochrome underdrawings before applying delicate pigments to depict landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes.

Artists of this period primarily used organic and mineral pigments bound with gum arabic, applied to laid or wove rag paper made from cotton or linen fibres, housed within wooden frames.

Authenticity is assessed through examining paper watermarks, fibre content under magnification, oxidisation patterns of the pigments, and the presence of hand-applied wash lines rather than modern dot-matrix printing.

Pairing antique works with minimalist modern frames or hanging them salon-style against dark, moody wall colours creates a striking contrast that highlights the age and craftsmanship of the piece.

Preservation requires framing with acid-free museum-grade mats and UV-protective glass, while keeping the artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
