To address a very old oil painting that smells, first ensure it is in a well-ventilated area. Gently clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris, avoiding any harsh chemicals. If the smell persists, consider placing the painting in a container with activated charcoal or baking soda to absorb odors, but avoid direct contact with the artwork. If the smell continues or the painting is valuable, consult a professional conservator for further advice.
