FAQs

Antique watercolours should be kept away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and fluctuating temperatures to prevent fading of pigments, foxing spots, and paper degradation.

It can be mounted with conservation-grade museum glass and neutral matting, then hung within a traditional or minimalist frame to create a focal point against muted wall colours.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the paper type, watermarks, oxidisation of pigments, ink or pencil signatures, and the presence of period-appropriate framing materials such as acidic backboards and old wooden slips.

These works were typically created using ground pigments mixed with a water-soluble binder, applied onto handmade rag paper or watercolour boards using hog bristle and sable hair brushes.

Early 20th-century British watercolours are characterised by a focus on natural light, atmospheric landscapes, and subtle washes of colour that capture the transient qualities of weather and topography.
