FAQs

An antique oil painting typically uses linseed oil binders on a prepared canvas or wood panel, characterised by rich pigment depth and centuries-old drying techniques that create a distinct crackle or craquelure over time.

Traditional construction involves hand-woven linen or cotton canvases stretched over wooden mortise-and-tenon frames, primed with gesso, and painted with natural earth and mineral pigments bound in oil.

Authentic pieces are identified by examining the canvas weave under magnification, checking for age-appropriate craquelure, inspecting the stretcher bars for hand-cut joinery, and looking for historical pigments and oxidation patterns.

Pairing historic dark-toned canvases with minimalist modern frames or placing them against moody, saturated wall colours creates a sophisticated focal point that bridges traditional depth with modern aesthetic sensibilities.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity between 45-55 percent, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, keeping paintings away from heat sources, and consulting a professional restorer for periodic cleaning.
