What periods do these dog portraits come from?

The pieces span from the seventeenth century through the Victorian era and into the mid-twentieth century. Most examples date from the nineteenth century. Victorian and Edwardian works dominate the selection, reflecting the era's fondness for animal painting.

Are the frames original to the paintings?

Many works retain their period gilt frames, such as burr maple or gilded wood surrounds matching the age of the canvas. Some pieces may have been reframed later in their history. Examining the joinery and wear on the wood helps determine if the frame has stayed with the portrait since its creation.

How do I hang and display a gilt framed portrait?

These framed artworks require sturdy wall fixings due to the weight of traditional wood and plaster mouldings. Keep them away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect the canvas and gold leaf. Pairing a gilded dog portrait with traditional or eclectic room decor highlights the warmth of the wood and the character of the subject.

What dog breeds appear most often in these artworks?

King Charles spaniels, terriers, collies, setters and hounds feature prominently across the paintings and needleworks. Working gun dogs and lapdogs were favourite subjects for nineteenth-century artists. Artists often portrayed specific animals belonging to prominent owners, recording individual pets alongside sporting scenes.
