[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4499323, member: 60629"]Thank you everyone Have to admit that cleaning paintings has turned into something of a hobby. I've gotten a bit of practice so I'm just looking to target ones with more potential. If you see any super dirty unwanted 19th century paintings, let me know lol. #2 does appear to be an oil painting on canvas on board, however it's under glass! The "pixels" you see appear to be canvas texture under glass. Seems this protected it from damage but why would an artist place an oil painting under glass? And why would someone spend so much money on a massive frame w/ wood backer but neglect to sign the painting itself? I'll pull it out and see if I can learn more. The frame is crumbling so much that I'm sadly not sure that's worth saving.

Jewelry, will definitely clean up #3 if the paint is consolidated and keep everyone posted. Seller believes it may have been reframed/remounted at some point so may be older than the frame.
