How should I hang an oil painting?

Choose a wall away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to protect both the canvas and the wooden frame. Ensure the fixings match the weight of the frame and canvas. Hang the centre of the picture at roughly eye level to give the composition a natural balance within the room.

Are these works original or printed?

The selection includes both unique handmade works and historic printed editions. Original paintings feature direct applications of oil paint or watercolour by the artist's hand. Prints comprise period engravings and lithographs, often hand-coloured after original works by notable sporting artists.

How do I care for watercolours under glass?

Keep watercolours away from direct sunlight to prevent the pigments and paper from fading over time. Maintain a stable room temperature to protect the paper and the framing materials. Avoid hanging them in humid spaces such as kitchens or unventilated bathrooms.
