How do I hang a vintage frame?

Vintage frames made of wood and gilt require sturdy picture hooks suited to the weight of the piece. Check the condition of the hanging cord or wire on the reverse before mounting. Ensure the wall fixings match the weight of the timber and canvas combination. Professional framing support can be used if the original structure needs reinforcement.

How should I care for oil on canvas?

Keep canvases away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect the paint and wooden stretcher bars. Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners on the paint or the gilt frames. Professional conservators should handle any deeper cleaning or canvas repairs.
