FAQs

Portrait miniatures are small-scale paintings, often executed on ivory, vellum, or card, which gained immense popularity during the 16th century and remained fashionable through the Georgian and Victorian eras as intimate tokens of affection or remembrance.

Artists typically used water-colour or gouache applied to thin slices of ivory, animal parchment, or card. Frames were frequently crafted from carved wood with gilt finishes, brass, copper, or precious metals, often featuring convex glass protection.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the stippling and brushwork technique under magnification, the presence of genuine age-related craquelure or oxidisation, hand-carved frame construction, and traditional backing materials characteristic of the period.

These small-scale artworks integrate well into curated gallery walls alongside modern prints, or can be displayed individually on narrow shelves and mantelpieces using small easels to create focal points of historical interest.

Miniatures on ivory must be kept away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, as UV exposure causes fading and moisture changes lead to warping or cracking of the organic support material.
