FAQs

A portrait miniature is a small, detailed painting, popular from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, often executed in watercolour on ivory, vellum, or paper and presented in a protective locket or hinged leather case.

Nineteenth-century portrait miniatures were commonly painted using watercolour on thin panels of ivory or card, set within gilt-metal mounts and protected by curved glass inside a hinged leather case.

Authentic Regency portrait miniatures feature fine brushwork visible under magnification, period-accurate military uniforms or clothing styles, and natural age wear on the original brass fittings and leather casing.

Small portrait miniatures can be displayed on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece alongside small decorative objects to create a curated historical display.

Keep portrait miniatures away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources to protect the pigments and materials. Dust the exterior case gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth without opening the sealed glass housing.
