Where did these painted church panels originate?

The pieces originate from various religious and secular environments, including English churches, Russian Orthodox settings, and Welsh workshops. Many were salvaged from nineteenth-century tin tabernacles or Gothic Revival chapels. Architectural salvage and ecclesiastical dismantling often liberated these panels, preserving decorative signs, window frames, and devotional art for domestic display.

How do I hang a heavy wooden panel?

Wall-mounting these substantial timber or leaded glass pieces requires secure fixing into solid masonry or stud work. Heavy items such as display signs and carved reliefs need appropriate brackets that can support their combined wood and metal weight. Consulting a professional installer ensures the structural safety of hanging large architectural salvage securely on domestic walls.

How do I tell an icon from a window?

Icons are painted directly onto solid wood panels using media such as tempera or oil, often featuring religious figures like the Passion of Christ. Stained glass windows utilise lead cames to hold coloured and painted glass panels that transmit light. Examining the backing reveals whether the piece relies on opaque timber or transparent glass to display its painted subject matter.

What periods do these pieces span?

The inventory spans multiple centuries, beginning with sixteenth-century carved wood reliefs and seventeenth-century double-sided paintings. Eighteenth-century Russian icons and nineteenth-century Gothic Revival stained glass form the bulk of the chronological range. Turn-of-the-century pieces from around nineteen hundred, alongside Edwardian display signs, represent the later boundary of the collection.
