How do I care for wood wall art?

Keep wooden panels away from direct heat sources and sudden humidity fluctuations to prevent the wood from splitting or warping. Dust the surface gently with a dry, soft cloth and avoid liquid cleaners or harsh chemical solvents on the paint layer.

How can I date an old wood panel?

Examine the reverse of the panel for tool marks, carpenter methods and ageing characteristics of the timber itself. Style of dress, pigment composition and framing methods also provide reliable indicators of the period of creation.

Why were artists painting on wood?

Wooden boards offered a rigid and durable surface that predated the widespread adoption of stretched canvas. Panels provided a smooth foundation that allowed fine detail work and remained stable over centuries of display.

What is naive folk art?

Naive folk art refers to creative works made outside traditional academic training systems, often by provincial makers. These pieces prioritise expressive charm and direct storytelling over strict adherence to perspective and anatomical proportion.
