Where did these panels originate inside churches?

Ecclesiastical panels typically came from pews, screens, altarpieces, and ceilings where woodcarvers decorated structural timber with religious imagery. Craftsmen integrated these carvings into daily worship spaces before later alterations or building closures released them into the wider market.

How do I mount a heavy wooden panel?

Wall-mounted panels require robust fixings anchored directly into structural wall supports due to the substantial weight of dense historic oak. Professional consultation ensures the hanging method distributes the load safely without damaging the antique timber.

Are painted surfaces on panels original?

Some pieces retain early polychrome paint, gilding, or later finishes applied during subsequent ecclesiastical redecoration campaigns. Examining the pigment layers and wear patterns helps determine whether paintwork dates to the construction period or a later Victorian revival.

How can I tell a sixteenth-century panel from a Victorian copy?

Early sixteenth-century work displays tool marks, timber shrinkage, and wear patterns consistent with centuries of manual handling and atmosphere. Victorian Gothic revival pieces often show machine assistance, different fastening methods, and interpretations of medieval styles that reflect nineteenth-century craftsmanship.
