The inventory spans from the mid-eighteenth century through the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century. Victorian and Georgian examples dominate the selection, alongside undated primitive works.

How were maritime dioramas displayed?

Maritime dioramas containing model ships and painted backdrops were generally housed in deep wooden shadow boxes. These glazed frames protected delicate rigging and woolwork from dust and handling.

What is tramp art framing?

Tramp art framing involves small chips of wood carved and layered together to create textured geometric patterns. Makers utilised scrap timber, such as old packaging boxes, to build these decorative surrounds.

Are textile works common in these frames?

Needlework samplers, woolies, and embroidered panels frequently appear mounted behind glass within period surrounds. These textiles often depict ships, family records, or decorative motifs stitched by hand.
