What periods do these pieces come from?

The selection includes works originating from the Regency and Victorian periods, stretching forward through the nineteenth century into mid-century modern examples. Dates span from early nineteenth-century watercolours and engravings up to mid-century impressionist oil paintings from the 1950s and 1960s.

Are the frames original to the art?

Many works retain their period gilt wood or gesso frames, which reflect the framing conventions of their respective eras of production. Some pieces have been paired with complementary period frames that match the age and aesthetic of the artwork within.

How do I care for watercolour botanical art?

Works on paper, particularly watercolours and gouache, require careful placement away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of delicate pigments. Maintaining stable indoor humidity levels also protects both the paper substrate and the integrity of the surrounding gilt frame.

What is the difference between an oil painting and a lithograph?

Oil paintings feature hand-applied pigments on canvas or board, showing visible brush texture and depth of colour built up in layers. Lithographs are printed reproductions on paper using flat printing plates, often hand-coloured to resemble original watercolours.
