How should I hang watercolour art?

Hang watercolours away from direct sunlight to prevent the fugitive pigments from fading over time. Ensure the room maintains stable humidity levels to protect the historic paper and wooden frames.

Are these paintings original?

The selections consist of hand-painted original works rather than modern mass reproductions. Many retain artist signatures, studio stamps, or period inscriptions detailing the specific geographic location depicted.

What periods do these watercolours cover?

The works span from the Georgian era through the Victorian and Edwardian periods into the mid-20th century. Mid-century British and continental views sit alongside 19th-century topographical studies.

Why are they framed under glass?

Glass protects delicate paper supports and water-soluble pigments from dust, moisture, and physical contact. Historic watercolours rely entirely on this physical barrier for long-term preservation.
