FAQs

During the late nineteenth century, hand-painted illuminated panels were mounted inside churches and non-conformist chapels to display core Christian texts, such as the Apostles Creed or Ten Commandments, making them visible to the congregation while decorating the interior.

These panels were typically constructed from pine or composite wooden boards, primed with gesso or oil paint, and decorated by hand using artist oils, gilding, and calligraphic lettering influenced by medieval illuminated manuscripts.

Authentic period panels exhibit hand-lettered calligraphy with natural variations in brushwork, historic surface wear, craquelure in the paint layer, original mounting hardware, and wood or board displaying aged patination on the reverse.

A tall vertical painted panel can serve as a focal point in a hallway, staircase landing, or narrow alcove, providing graphic interest and architectural scale when paired with neutral walls or minimalist furnishings.

Keep the panel in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or flaking. Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth without liquid solvents or abrasive chemicals.
