What periods do these paintings come from?

The works span multiple centuries, ranging from seventeenth-century portraits and Dutch style still lifes to nineteenth-century landscapes and mid-twentieth-century compositions. Victorian and Edwardian pieces appear frequently alongside works reflecting earlier Georgian and Regency traditions.

How should I clean a gilded frame?

Dust the ornate gesso and gold leaf surfaces gently using a soft, dry brush or feather duster. Avoid liquid cleaners, damp cloths, and chemical solvents, which can lift the delicate gold leaf from the underlying wood.

Are all the frames original to the paintings?

Many pieces retain their original period giltwood or gesso frames, showing appropriate signs of age corresponding to the canvas. Over the centuries, certain works have been paired with complementary replacement frames from the same era to match the original aesthetic.

What is the difference between oil on canvas and oil on board?

Oil on canvas involves applying paint to stretched fabric fixed over a wooden stretcher frame, offering slight flexibility. Oil on board utilises a rigid wooden or cardboard panel as the painting surface, providing a firm foundation for the pigment.
