How should I hang these heavy frames?

Giltwood frames carry substantial weight due to their dense wooden construction and plaster mouldings. Secure fixings into wall studs or appropriate masonry anchors ensure safe suspension. Professional picture hooks rated for the specific weight of the artwork provide reliable support.

Are all these works original paintings?

The inventory contains a mixture of original oil paintings, watercolours, pastels and drawings. Some pieces also feature period engravings and historical prints. Descriptions specify whether a work is an original composition or executed after another master.

What subjects appear most frequently?

Portraiture forms a significant portion of the selection, depicting gentlemen, ladies and historical figures. Landscapes, marine scenes and still life arrangements of fruit also appear regularly. Classical themes and narrative subjects complete the range of available imagery.
