What periods do these artworks come from?

The selection spans multiple centuries, with pieces originating from the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each era brings distinct stylistic approaches to portraiture and landscape painting. Buyers find works representing Georgian, Regency, Victorian and later aesthetic movements within the same category.

How should I hang a gilt frame artwork?

These heavier framed pieces require secure wall fixings suited to the weight of solid wood and plaster mouldings. Placing them away from direct sunlight protects both the paint surface and the delicate metallic leaf. Allowing adequate wall space lets the reflective quality of the gold border catch the room's natural light.

What is the difference between oil and pastel?

Oil paintings utilise pigment bound in drying oil on canvas or panel, offering a resilient surface that tolerates open display. Pastels consist of compressed powdered pigment on paper and require glass protection to prevent the chalky medium from smudging. Both formats achieve distinct textures and depth when housed behind a gilded border.
