Are these paintings watercolours?

Gouache shares similarities with watercolour because both utilise water-soluble binders, but gouache contains larger pigment particles and chalk, making it opaque. This opacity allows artists to paint light colours over dark washes, achieving a solid, matte finish quite unlike transparent watercolour. Many period artists combined both mediums within a single composition to balance luminous sky washes with dense, solid foliage or architecture. Examining the surface under magnification often reveals where opaque highlights sit distinctly above transparent base layers.

How should I hang these framed paintings?

Select an interior wall that receives stable indirect light, as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will fade the delicate pigments over time. Maintain a consistent room temperature and avoid hanging pieces near radiators or in humid spaces like kitchens. Ensure the hanging wire and wall fixings are rated to support the weight of the timber and glass frame. Professional picture hooks suited to your wall type provide the security necessary for heavier gilded frames.

How can I tell the period of the frame?

Period frames often display construction methods typical of their era, such as hand-carved wooden corners, gesso preparation layers, and traditional gold leaf application. Early nineteenth-century frames frequently feature distinct compositional moulding patterns that differ from Edwardian or later replacements. Inspect the reverse of the frame for old framer labels, handwritten inscriptions, or rusted iron fixings which offer clues to the age of the mounting. A frame that appears contemporary to the painting usually retains better contextual harmony than a mismatched later setting.
