How should I hang a framed bird watercolour?

Position these works away from direct sunlight to prevent the watercolour pigments and paper supports from fading over time. Maintain stable indoor humidity levels to protect the paper and the wooden frame. Secure the frame using appropriate wall fixings suited to the weight of the glass and timber moulding. Professional framing tape on the reverse helps seal the assembly against dust.

What periods do these bird studies represent?

The available selection spans from the eighteenth century through the Victorian and Edwardian eras up to mid-century British art. Each period employs distinct framing styles and paper supports reflecting the prevailing tastes of the time. Earlier examples often utilise pith paper, while Victorian and later works typically employ standard watercolour paper within ebonised or gilt frames.

Are these watercolours original paintings?

Each piece listed represents an original hand-painted work on paper or pith paper, rather than a modern reproduction or print. Artists applied pigment directly using brushes to capture anatomical details of parrots, finches, and game birds. Signatures or attribution to specific creators such as George Rankin or Arthur Wardle appear on several examples.

How do I care for antique paper under glass?

Keep the glass clean using a microfibre cloth slightly dampened with water, avoiding chemical sprays that might seep beneath the rebate. Inspect the backing boards periodically for signs of moisture or insect activity. Professional conservators can address any developing foxing spots or degradation of the paper support without disturbing the historical frame.
