19th-Century British School, Portrait Of A Lady With A Ruby Necklace

A beautiful mid-19th-century British school portrait of a lady wearing a ruby necklace and bracelets. It dates to around 1860 when ladies styled their hair into side coils and wore floral bonnets positioned towards the back of the head.

We purchased the painting from Wales and the sitter could be of Welsh descent.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
