How do I hang heavy framed oil paintings safely?

Ensure the wall fixings match the weight of the timber frame and canvas. Secure screws directly into wall studs or utilise appropriate heavy duty cavity anchors. Check that the hanging wire or brackets on the back of the frame are tightly fastened to the wooden structure before mounting.

How should I clean antique picture frames?

Dust gilt wood and wooden mouldings gently with a soft, dry brush to remove surface particles. Avoid liquid cleaners or moisture, which can damage aged gilding and exposed timber. Keep glass surfaces clean by applying a small amount of glass cleaner to a cloth rather than spraying directly near the wooden frame.

Are these artworks suitable for bright rooms?

Direct sunlight can fade paper prints, photographs, and oil pigments over extended periods. Position these pieces away from south facing windows to preserve the integrity of the colours. Consider UV protective glass if placement in a naturally lit space is unavoidable.

How do I identify the age of a picture frame?

Examine the construction methods visible on the reverse of the frame, including corner joints and backing boards. Older frames often utilise hand cut timber and traditional fixings rather than modern staples. The materials used for ornamentation, such as composition ornament on gilt wood, also indicate the period of manufacture.
