Should canvas paintings be kept out of direct sunlight?

Strong ultraviolet light causes natural oil pigments to fade and accelerates the degradation of historical canvas and wooden frames. Positioning these artworks away from direct south-facing windows preserves the vibrancy of the original colours for years to come.

Are these paintings supplied ready to hang?

Many pieces arrive within their original period frames, such as gilded wood or oak, fitted with appropriate hanging cord or hardware. Checking the individual listing details confirms whether a specific frame accompanies the artwork.

How can I tell the age of a canvas painting?

Clues lie in the construction of the wooden stretcher frame, the type of nails or tacks used, and the natural oxidisation of the oil paint. Stylistic conventions and any signatures or inscriptions on the reverse also offer reliable dating evidence.
