FAQs

This era often focused on realistic depictions of family life and domestic scenes, capturing expressive character traits and natural lighting through rich oil layers.

Authentic period pieces typically utilise stretched canvas or wood panels, high-grade linseed oil paints, and handcrafted gilded wood and composition frames.

Authentication involves examining craquelure in the paint layer, canvas weave, artist signatures or stamps on the reverse, and the construction methods of the frame.

Displaying traditional artwork in contemporary settings creates a striking contrast, adding depth, historical narrative, and warmth to minimalist or neutral walls.

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight and high humidity fluctuations, clean gently with a soft dry brush, and avoid chemical solvents or moisture on the canvas surface.
