How do I care for an antique painting?

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and drastic fluctuations in temperature or humidity. Avoid touching the painted surface directly, and consult a professional conservator for cleaning. Ensure the hanging environment remains stable to protect both the canvas or paper support and the original frame.

Are these paintings all original works?

Yes, the listings comprise one-off original paintings rather than modern mass-produced prints. Each piece was created by hand using traditional painting media on its respective support. Signatures, dates and historical framing often provide additional context regarding the provenance of individual works.

How can I tell the period of a landscape painting?

Clues emerge from the style of brushwork, the pigments used, the framing methods and any inscriptions on the reverse of the canvas or board. Nineteenth-century works frequently feature heavier varnishes and traditional academic composition. Later twentieth-century pieces often adopt looser modernist or impressionistic interpretations of natural scenery.

What is the difference between oil and watercolour?

Oil paint utilises an oil binder that dries slowly, allowing artists to build thick textures and deep, luminous layers. Watercolour uses a water-soluble medium on paper, producing lighter, translucent effects. Watercolours require protection beneath glass, whereas oil paintings on canvas or board are typically displayed open to the air.
