The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Popular during the eighteenth century, portrait miniatures are small, highly detailed watercolour paintings executed on substrates such as ivory, vellum, or stone panels, often mounted in gold frames or lockets to serve as personal keepsakes.

Artists typically used fine watercolour pigments painted onto thin panels of ivory, vellum, slate, or agate, encased within gold, silver, or pinchbeck frames protected by glass covers.

Authentic Georgian miniatures feature fine brushwork, period-accurate clothing styles such as powdered hair and military uniforms, period-appropriate metal casing techniques, and light wear consistent with historical age.

These delicate artworks can be displayed within glass cabinet vitrines, integrated into gallery walls alongside framed etchings, or positioned atop velvet display stands on bookshelves.

Portrait miniatures must be kept away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity changes to prevent pigment fading or panel warping, and cleaned using only a dry, soft cloth.
