Description

Lovely late 19th century Russian Icon painted onto a wood panel,c1880. The painting is a well executed depiction of St George slaying the dragon. Despite its age the colours are still vibrant and it has great decorative appeal. There is what appears to be Cyrillic script in red at the top but I cannot make it out as it has rubbed slightly. Overall condition is good, in line with age and use. There is minor surface rubbing / crazing to the paintwork in places, but all very much as you would expect from an old example. To the rear is a simple leather hanging loop which appears to be original to the piece. Overall a very genuine example. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.

Price includes FREE UK delivery, please contact me regarding international shipping.

Size: 18cm tall x 12cm wide x 2cm deep.

FAQs

Russian Orthodox icons are sacred religious works traditionally created as windows to heaven, depicting saints, biblical events, and Christ according to strict canonical rules and centuries-old artistic traditions.

These icons were typically painted using egg tempera mixed with natural pigments and gold leaf on a prepared wooden panel, often gessoed over linen cloth applied to the wood base.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural ageing characteristics such as wood shrinkage, craquelure in the tempera paint, oxidised varnish, and traditional hand-carved preparation of the wooden panel rather than modern printed reproductions.

An antique icon can be mounted securely on a neutral wall as a focal point or displayed on a dedicated shelf, pairing its rich history with minimalist modern surroundings to highlight its texture and form.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, and dusting gently with a soft dry cloth without using liquid cleaners.
