FAQs

A Russian Orthodox icon with an oklad, also known as a riza, features a decorative metal cover that protects the underlying painted wooden panel. These covers were crafted from materials such as chased silver or brass to highlight sacred figures while shielding the delicate tempera paint from candle smoke and touching.

Traditional icons were painted using egg tempera pigments on seasoned wooden panels prepared with gesso. Metal covers, or oklads, were hand-hammered using repousse and chasing techniques, often featuring intricate scrollwork, halos, and Cyrillic inscriptions.

Authentic icons show subtle age-related craquelure on the painted surfaces visible through the cut-outs of the metal cover. Look for official assay marks, silver hallmarks, or maker stamps along the rim of the oklad, alongside authentic wood shrinkage on the reverse.

Religious icons serve as compelling focal points when positioned within dark wood bookcases, framed gallery walls, or quiet architectural niches. Their metallic finish pairs effectively with warm lighting, classic leather-bound books, and traditional cabinetry.

Dust the item gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush without applying liquid polishes that could seep beneath the metal onto the tempera painting. Maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent the wooden backing from warping or splitting over time.
