How do I hang heavy oil paintings safely?

Ensure your wall fixings anchor directly into wall studs or utilise heavy-duty plaster anchors rated for the weight of the giltwood frame. Use picture wire attached securely to D-rings on the wooden stretcher bars to distribute the load evenly across the wall hook.

Should watercolours be kept out of direct sunlight?

Paper and watercolour pigments are sensitive to ultraviolet rays, which cause fading and degradation over extended periods. Position these works away from windows or utilise glass with ultraviolet-filtering properties to preserve the delicate washes.

How do I identify the period of a frame?

Examine the construction joints at the corners and the composition of the gesso or plaster ornamentation beneath the gilding. Period frames often display hand-carved wooden details and aged patination that match the era of the canvas they enclose.
