How do I care for vintage oil paintings?

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to protect the canvas and oil pigments from cracking. Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using chemical cleaners on the paint or frame.

Were these prints hand coloured?

Many 19th-century engravings and lithographs received delicate washes of watercolour by hand after the initial printing process. This added realistic tones to the horses, hounds, and riders while maintaining the underlying engraved lines.

Where should I hang hunting artwork?

These pieces suit traditional spaces such as studies, libraries, and dining rooms where wood furniture and neutral walls complement the palette. Ensure the hanging height places the centre of the artwork at eye level for optimal viewing.
