How a frame made in our studio and tender conservation can TRANSFORM a painting. This glorious Goltzius Geldorp lives again! #portrait #painting #goltziusgeldorp #frame #frames #conservation #dutcholdmasters #juliakorner #juliakornerfineart #bolection #dutchframe #dutchframes #oldmasterpaintings #portraitpaintings

Following on from our last post, here is another picture by George Frederic Watts which we had the pleasure of conserving a few years ago. Both frame and canvas required various treatments to nurture the artwork back to life, the result of which was particularly pleasing and harmonious. Wishing you all a very pleasant weekend. #GeorgeFredericWatts #Watts #GfWatts #Portrait #nineteenthcentury #painting #art #face #victorian #beard #gilding #conservation #arthistory #restoration #frame #historicframes #gold #artofinstagram #london #chiswick #details #victoriana #interiordesign #elegance

Sir Galahad, back in his home @wattsgallery , after receiving conservation in our studio earlier this summer. This included the careful cleaning and repair of his frame, a fine example of the 'Watts frame' style, which was missing significant areas of decoration.

Henry Fuseli must be one of the most distinctive artists to have worked in eighteenth century Britain. His fascination for sculptural figures, often of a very gothic and at times mannerist nature, are engaging to the modern eye. We acquired this fine drawing a few years ago at auction, when it appeared in a provincial auction bearing an incorrect catalogue note. #henryfuseli #fuseli #art #britishart #drawing #pen #frame #gilding #eighteenthcentury #georgian #georgianart #royalacademy #london #chiswick #pen #pencil #paper #figure #sculpture #angel #nude #fineart #artofinstagram #arthistory

A fine detail of a Procession, complete with Imperial Umbrella and Bridal Chair, held in Peking (now Beijing), China, in 1872. This colourful and evocative scene was captured by the Scottish watercolour painter William Simpson (1823-1899), who is more widely known for his depictions of war. #China #peking #beijing #watercolour #art #colour #drawing #pencil #chineseart #britishart #colonial #maritime #chinatravel #nineteenthcentury #artofinstagram #artforsale #pink #clothing #fashion #umbrella #williamsimpson #painting
