How do I care for an oil painting at home?

Keep oil works away from direct sunlight and steady humidity levels to prevent cracking in the paint layer. Dust the surface and frame gently with a dry, soft brush without applying liquid cleaners. Avoid hanging pieces above active heat sources or in damp rooms where moisture can affect the wood panel or canvas backing.

What is the difference between canvas and board?

Canvas is a flexible woven fabric stretched over a wooden frame, offering slight give under the touch. Board is a rigid, inflexible flat material that provides a solid backing for the paint. Both supports have been used across centuries, with boards becoming particularly prevalent during the twentieth century for smaller outdoor studies.

Are these paintings supplied with their original frames?

Many pieces retain their period frames, such as gilt gesso or moulded wood surrounds dating from the nineteenth or early twentieth century. These housings were often chosen specifically to complement the palette and style of the artwork. Listing details will specify whether a work includes its period frame or has been framed more recently.
