What periods do these pictures cover?

The selection spans from the early nineteenth century through the Victorian era and into the mid twentieth century. Pieces range from historic depictions of sailing vessels dating to eighteen hundred up to twentieth-century canvases painted around nineteen sixty. Victorian marine art forms the bulk of the offering, capturing maritime trade and coastal communities during a period of intense seafaring activity.

How should I care for an oil marine painting?

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight and steady temperature fluctuations to prevent the canvas or wood panel from warping. Maintain a stable indoor environment to protect both the painted surface and the original wooden or giltwood frame. Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using chemical cleaners on the canvas.

Are watercolours framed differently from oils?

Watercolour paintings require protection under glass to shield the paper and water-soluble pigments from moisture and atmospheric dust. They are typically mounted within card borders and fitted behind glass inside wood or gilt frames. Oil paintings on canvas or board are traditionally displayed unglazed so the textured brushwork remains visible.

How can I tell a watercolour from an oil painting?

Oils present a thick, textured surface with visible brush marks and a canvas weave underneath. Watercolours appear flat and smooth, with transparent washes of pigment on paper. Oils are generally displayed without glass protection, whereas watercolours require glazing to preserve the paper support.
