Keep paintings away from direct sunlight, high humidity and dramatic temperature fluctuations to protect the canvas and oil pigments. Dust surfaces gently with a soft, dry brush without applying pressure. Avoid using water or chemical cleaning agents on the painted surface or original frames.

Are these watercolours framed in original glass?

Many works on paper retain their period framing, which may include old glass and timber moulding. These components contribute to the historical character of the artwork. Handle framed watercolours with care to protect the delicate paper support and pigment layers from moisture.

What is scumble paint on period furniture?
