How do I hang a heavy oil painting safely?

Ensure fixings anchor directly into wall studs or use heavy-duty wall anchors rated for the combined weight of canvas and wood. Position the centre of the artwork at average eye level to maintain proper visual balance in the room.

What lighting damages historic oil paintings?

Direct sunlight and high-intensity halogen spots introduce ultraviolet radiation and excessive heat that degrade pigments over time. Utilise indirect LED lighting with low heat output to illuminate the canvas safely.

How do I identify a seventeenth-century canvas?

Examine the weave tightness, stretcher construction, and hand-beveled edges typical of early workshops. Craquelure patterns across the paint surface also indicate natural ageing over centuries.

Can I clean an antique oil painting myself?

Surface dust can be removed gently with a very soft, dry brush, avoiding any moisture or pressure on the paint. Professional conservators should handle deeper cleaning to prevent removing original glazes.
