How should I display an oil painting?

Hang your landscape on an interior wall away from direct sunlight and damp conditions. Stable room temperatures protect both the canvas and the original wooden frame. Ensure the wall fixings match the weight of the framed picture to secure the piece safely.

Are the frames original to the art?

Many pieces retain their period wooden or gilt frames, which date from the same era as the canvas. These surrounds often feature decorative swept designs characteristic of nineteenth century framing. Checking the fit and backing helps determine if the frame has paired with the painting for generations.
