How do I hang a wall sculpture safely?

Heavy wooden carvings require secure wall anchors and proper brackets suited to the weight of the timber. Ensure the fixing attaches directly to a solid wall or stud rather than plaster alone.

Allow enough space around the piece to display the wooden frame and upholstery details without crowding the surrounding furniture.

How do I care for antique carved wood?

Dust the carvings regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup in the recessed areas of the feathers or scrollwork. Avoid commercial polishes that can leave a residue on historic wax or oil finishes. Keep the pieces away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent the timber from drying out, cracking, or fading over time.

Are these pieces from churches or homes?

The selection includes items from both domestic interiors and ecclesiastical settings. Architectural fragments and angel figures often originated from altarpieces, churches, or grand chateaus.
