How should I display a gilt framed picture?

Hang these pieces away from direct sunlight to protect pigments, watercolours, and paper from fading over time. Stable room temperatures prevent the wooden frames and gesso from warping or cracking. Ensure secure wall fixings are used, as larger oil paintings and heavy gilded wooden frames can carry significant weight.

Who are some of the notable artists featured?

The collection includes works associated with established animal and sporting painters from the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Notable figures include John Emms, Arthur Wardle, and Colin Graeme Roe. Other pieces are attributed to the British School or created after famous works by Sir Edwin Landseer.
