FAQs

Chinese export watercolours of sailing junks were typically produced during the 18th and 19th centuries in treaty ports such as Canton for Western traders, travellers, and maritime officers seeking souvenirs of the East.

These paintings were traditionally executed in watercolour, often using gouache highlights, on export paper, pith paper, or watercolour paper, mounted within wooden frames.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate paper characteristics, oxidised pigments, hand-painted detailing, and historical framing techniques distinct from modern reproductions.

These pieces integrate effectively into traditional studies, coastal schemes, or gallery walls, where their linear detail and historical character provide visual depth and contrast against neutral walls.

Watercolour works require framing behind UV-protective glass and placement away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading of the pigments and degradation of the paper.
