What periods do these paintings come from?

The pieces span from the eighteenth century through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Mid-century examples appear alongside Victorian and Edwardian works. Specific decades represented include the nineteen-tens, twenties, forties, fifties and sixties.

How should I hang framed canvas art?

Secure the painting using appropriate wall fixings that match the weight of the timber frame and canvas. Position the artwork at eye level to enjoy the composition. Keep pieces away from direct sunlight to protect oil paint and watercolour pigments from fading.

Are watercolours framed under glass?

Paper works generally require glass protection to shield the pigment from dust and atmospheric moisture. This glazing preserves the delicate washes of watercolour and pastel. Ensure the paper does not touch the glass directly during framing to prevent condensation damage.

What floral subjects are most common?

Artists frequently depict roses, lilies, peonies, daisies and gladioli arranged in jugs, vases or baskets. Botanical studies also feature individual blooms alongside butterflies. These subjects appear in traditional still life, impressionist and botanical illustration styles.
