How do I hang a heavy wooden panel safely?

Heavy carved wood or bronze panels require secure wall fixings distributed across the weight-bearing structure of the piece. Using appropriate wall plugs and heavy-duty brackets ensures stability. For large architectural fragments or pairs of doors, professional installation into masonry or wall studs is strongly recommended to support the load safely.

How do I clean carved wooden wall art?

Dust accumulated in intricate carvings is best removed gently using a soft, dry brush or a feather duster. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners that might strip the original finish or wax. Periodic light dusting maintains the appearance without risking abrasion to the delicate hand-carved details.

What is the difference between a plaque and a panel?

A plaque is typically a smaller, self-contained flat tablet made of metal, ceramic, or wood designed primarily to commemorate a person or event. They frequently feature portraits or inscriptions. A panel generally forms part of a larger architectural structure, such as a door, wall, or ceiling, and focuses on decorative patterns, scenes, or figurative carvings.
