FAQs

A Russian triptych icon is a three-panelled folding devotional artwork traditionally used by travellers and Old Believers for personal prayer and worship in the Orthodox Christian tradition.

These pieces were typically cast in bronze or brass using traditional mould techniques, then hand-decorated with multi-coloured champleve or cloisonne enamels to highlight specific figures and details.

Authentic pieces from this period display natural verdigris and oxidisation, hand-chiselled detailing beneath the casting, and traditional Cyrillic inscriptions alongside characteristic pigment palettes.

Displaying the piece within a glass cabinet, on a dedicated mantlepiece, or mounted cleanly on a study wall allows its historical craftsmanship to stand out as a focal point.

Preservation involves keeping the object away from moisture and direct sunlight, dusting gently with a soft dry brush, and strictly avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or polishes that damage the enamel.
