How do I care for antique framed art?

Keep historic works away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect fragile papers, inks, and wooden surrounds from deterioration. Dust the outer borders gently with a dry cloth and avoid applying liquid cleaners directly to the glass or framing surfaces.

Are these frames original to the pieces?

Many historic portraits retain period frames corresponding to their centuries of creation, whilst others have received sympathetic replacement mouldings over time. Examining the joinery and backing materials helps determine whether the enclosure shares the age of the artwork inside.

How can I date a silhouette?

Costume, hairstyle, and signature styles offer primary clues for dating portrait silhouettes from the Georgian and Regency eras. Accompanying handwritten labels on the reverse often record the sitter's name and the year of creation.
