How should I hang a framed watercolour?

Position the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent the watercolour pigments from fading over time. Ensure the wall is stable and use appropriate fixings that support the weight of the wood and glass frame.

Can I remove the watercolour from its frame?

Leaving the artwork inside its original frame protects the paper from dust, humidity, and accidental surface contact. Opening the back can introduce air and pollutants that damage nineteenth-century paper over prolonged periods.

How do I identify a nineteenth-century watercolour?

Examine the paper stock for watermark indicators and check the reverse for period inscriptions, dealer labels, or artist signatures. Stylistic cues such as costume details and subject matter often align with Victorian or Regency aesthetic preferences.

What maintenance do these watercolours require?

Keep the glass clean using a dry microfibre cloth, taking care not to spray liquid directly onto the frame edge. Maintain a stable room temperature to protect both the wooden frame and the delicate paper support.
