What periods do these pieces date from?

The works span from the eighteenth century through the Victorian era and into the early twentieth century. Most examples originate from the nineteenth century. Styles represented include Georgian, Victorian, Biedermeier, and Art Deco, reflecting the changing aesthetic preferences of domestic portraiture over three centuries.

How were silhouette portraits made?

Silhouettes were typically created by cutting black paper by hand or by painting a profile directly onto card or plaster. They recorded the outlines of family members before photography became widespread. Many were framed as conversation pieces, depicting multiple family members interacting within a domestic interior or garden setting.

What mediums are used in these works?

Artists employed oil paint on canvas, watercolour and ink on paper, and mixed media techniques. Sculptural groups carved from olive wood also form part of the selection. Frames frequently feature materials such as giltwood, maple veneer, and traditional timber, often protected beneath glass.

How do I display antique family art?

These framed artworks and small sculptures suit traditional and contemporary interiors alike, functioning well as focal points on living room or hallway walls. Grouping smaller silhouettes together creates a striking gallery effect. Keep pieces away from direct sunlight to protect delicate watercolours, paper silhouettes, and antique pigments from fading over time.
