How should I hang pink floral watercolour artwork?

Keep these paintings away from direct sunlight to prevent the watercolour pigments and paper from fading over time. Display them in rooms with stable humidity levels to protect both the antique paper and the wooden frames.

What periods do these paintings cover?

The selection spans from the mid-nineteenth century through the Edwardian era and into the mid-twentieth century. Victorian and Edwardian botanical studies sit alongside later twentieth-century floral still lifes.

Are the frames original?

Many pieces retain wood or gilt wood frames that correspond to the period of the artwork. Framing styles shift from ornate nineteenth-century gilding to simpler wooden surrounds on later twentieth-century works.

How do I identify botanical watercolours?

Look for precise depictions of specific flowers like roses, pelargoniums and anemones executed on paper supports. Signed pieces often point towards named artists associated with British watercolour traditions.
