What periods do these artworks cover?

The works span from the seventeenth century through the Victorian and Edwardian eras up to the mid-twentieth century. This includes seventeenth-century oil portraits, nineteenth-century watercolours, and First World War pieces. Buyers find materials ranging from early canvas paintings to later framed prints and drawings.

How should I hang these framed pieces?

Pieces require sturdy wall fixings appropriate for their weight, particularly larger oil paintings on canvas with wooden frames. Placement should avoid direct sunlight to protect watercolours and paper works. Maintaining stable room humidity preserves both the wooden frames and the canvas or paper supports.

Are the signatures on the artworks original?

Signatures where present, such as those by named artists or military illustrators, relate directly to the period of creation. Many historical portraits stem from studios or followers of established painters. Documentation within titles notes studio attributions and follower designations alongside signed works.

What subjects are included in military art?

Subjects feature military officers in full armour, royal reviews, naval ironclads, and battle formations. Portraits record specific historical figures, regiments, and soldiers from various campaigns. Works also capture sentimental tributes by sailors and soldiers alongside documentary battle scenes.
