The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Early 20th-century British watercolours often captured industrial urban scenes alongside rural views, using fluid brushwork, muted tonal washes, and atmospheric light to reflect the changing modern landscape.

Artisans used water-soluble pigments bound with gum arabic applied to heavy cotton rag paper, allowing the natural brightness of the underlying paper to shine through transparent washes.

Authentic period watercolours feature contemporary signatures, date inscriptions, genuine natural paper ageing or foxing, and appropriate historic mounting techniques.

Display framed watercolours in traditional or modern interiors by combining modern slim frames or classic wood mouldings on a gallery wall or above period furniture.

Keep watercolour art away from direct sunlight, maintain a stable humidity level, and frame it using acid-free mount boards behind UV-filtering glass.
