How do I hang a heavy giltwood frame?

These substantial wooden pieces require secure wall fixings distributed evenly across the structure. Utilise heavy-duty picture hooks anchored directly into wall studs. Avoid relying on lightweight picture wire alone for monumental paintings. Ensure the weight rests securely on strong brackets to protect both wall and artwork.

What periods do these artworks represent?

The selection spans from the seventeenth century through to the Edwardian era. Eighteenth-century pieces frequently feature aristocratic portraits and classical French school compositions. Nineteenth-century examples tend towards romantic landscapes, maritime shipping scenes, and realist animal paintings. Regency and Victorian styles dominate the available wooden surrounds.

Are the paintings original oils?

Many listings feature original oil on canvas or oil on board works created by listed nineteenth-century artists. These pieces display distinct brush texture and artist signatures. The inventory also includes historical prints, lithographs, and reverse glass works. Check individual descriptions to distinguish unique paintings from printed reproductions.
