The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Late 17th-century British portraiture, spanning the Restoration and William and Mary periods, is characterised by formal poses, dramatic lighting, rich drapery, and elaborate wigs, often reflecting the subjects professional status.

Portraits from this era were typically executed in oil paint on hand-woven linen canvases, stretched onto timber strainers and prepared with natural glue sizing and oil grounds.

Authentic period portraits demonstrate natural craquelure, age-appropriate oxidisation on the reverse canvas, historical judicial vestments, and distinctive period brushwork techniques.

A historical portrait creates a focal point when hung above a mantelpiece or sideboard, providing contrast against contemporary colour palettes or patterned wall coverings.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity, dusting gently with a dry, soft brush and avoiding chemical cleaning solutions.
