What periods do these carvings come from?

The available selection spans from sixteenth-century Tudor and Elizabethan workshops through seventeenth-century Jacobean and Baroque periods. Nineteenth-century Gothic Revival pieces also feature prominently. Craftsmen across these eras utilised dense hardwoods to produce architectural fittings, religious panels, and decorative wall mounts.

How were these wooden panels originally used?

Many items functioned as structural wall panels, staircase components, ceiling bosses, or corbels within substantial domestic and ecclesiastical interiors. Others served as decorative plaques or armorial displays. Over time, many architectural elements were salvaged from historic buildings to be mounted as independent decorative artworks.

How do I identify a linenfold panel?

Linenfold panels feature symmetrical wooden mouldings carved to resemble stiff fabric folded over itself. This design was popular during the sixteenth century on domestic walling. The vertical folds create regular shadows and uniform planes across the surface of the timber.

How should I hang a heavy oak panel?

Due to the substantial weight of solid oak and hardwood carvings, secure wall fixings into masonry or timber studs are essential. Metal brackets or concealed French cleats provide adequate load-bearing support. Ensure the mounting hardware engages directly with the structural frame rather than relying solely on the decorative wooden elements.
