FAQs

A portrait miniature is a small, highly detailed painting, typically executed on ivory, vellum, or card during the 16th to 19th centuries, often kept as personal mementoes or worn as jewellery.

Traditional portrait miniatures were commonly painted using watercolour or gouache on thin slices of ivory, vellum, or prepared paper, encased in brass, gold, or wood frames with glass covers.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-painted stipple or hatching techniques under magnification, period framing with convex glass, and natural ageing characteristics on the backing material.

These small artworks can be displayed grouped in a gallery wall arrangement, placed on a mantelpiece in a small easel, or integrated into a bookshelf display to add historical depth and intimate scale.

To preserve the pigments and prevent degradation of the delicate substrate, keep miniatures away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and avoid exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations.
