FAQs

Watercolour has been used for centuries to capture delicate textures and natural light, becoming particularly popular for intimate pet portraits and wildlife studies during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Traditional pieces typically utilise watercolour or pastel pigments on heavyweight paper or card, mounted within a card passe-partout and housed in a timber frame.

Authenticity is determined by examining the paper texture, pigment absorption, artist signature, framing materials, and the presence of age-related foxing or toning beneath the glass.

A vintage painting adds character and warmth when hung in a gallery wall arrangement or placed on a narrow shelf to contrast against contemporary minimalist backdrops.

Preserve works on paper by keeping them away from direct sunlight and high humidity, using acid-free backing materials, and ensuring they are glazed with UV-protective glass.
