How are old panels mounted?

These panels attach to walls using concealed battens or brackets designed to support the weight without damaging the historic timber. Heavier high-relief sculptures require secure structural fixings into masonry or studwork rather than plaster alone.

Can panels be cleaned safely?

Dusting with a dry, soft bristle brush removes surface debris safely without stripping the historic wax and accumulated patina. Moisture and modern chemical polishes damage old oak surfaces and should be avoided entirely.

What defines Renaissance Revival?

Renaissance Revival describes nineteenth-century pieces manufactured in the style of sixteenth-century workshops. Nineteeth-century craftsmen replicated earlier linenfold, caryatid, and figural motifs using contemporary joinery methods.

Are these architectural fragments?

Many items originate from dismantled buildings, church interiors, or dismantled historic furniture such as coffers and sideboards. These salvaged elements were removed during architectural alterations and preserved as standalone decorative art.
