FAQs

Portrait miniatures are small-scale paintings, highly popular from the 16th through the 19th centuries, often created as tokens of affection, remembrance, or status using watercolour on vellum, card, or ivory.

Traditional materials include fine watercolours or gouache applied to thin slices of ivory, vellum, or prepared card, protected by glass and typically housed in gold, brass, or gilt-metal lockets and frames.

Authentic pieces exhibit meticulous stippling and hatching brushwork under magnification, use period-correct pigments, and are set within handmade metal frames characteristic of the era, often featuring handwritten labels or provenance on the reverse.

These small-scale artworks look exceptional when grouped in small galleries on narrow wall spaces or displayed on specialised easels within studies, libraries, or traditional living spaces.

Miniatures must be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of delicate watercolours and protected from extreme fluctuations in temperature and humidity, which can damage the delicate ground layers.
