How do I care for antique watercolours?

Keep paper works away from direct sunlight to prevent the watercolour pigments and hand-colouring from fading over time. Maintain stable humidity levels in the room to protect the paper substrate and any original gilt wood framing.

Are these works original or prints?

The selection includes both original hand-painted watercolours and historical printed plates, such as nineteenth-century engravings and lithographs. Printed items often feature hand-applied watercolour washes added by artisans at the time of publication.

How can I tell the period of a piece?

Stylistic clues, paper characteristics and framing methods help indicate the era in which the artwork was created. Signatures, dates, and historical printing techniques such as early lithography provide further chronological context.

How were these bird illustrations used historically?

Many plates originated in scientific volumes and natural history folios produced for collectors and researchers. Artists also created standalone watercolours for private display in domestic interiors and country houses.
