Sacred icons hand-painted in Italy for London
London is a capital of the Christian East in the West: great Greek shipping families, the Cypriot and Russian communities live here, and the galleries of Mayfair and Kensington have dealt in icons for generations. A fine-art icon hand-painted in Italy speaks to this cultivated and demanding audience.
The Christian East in London
- The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Sophia in Bayswater, seat of the Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain, with its mosaics and iconostasis.
- The Russian cathedrals of the Dormition and All Saints in Knightsbridge and of the Dormition and the Holy Royal Martyrs in Chiswick, with its blue dome scattered with golden stars.
- The churches of the Cypriot, Serbian, Romanian and Antiochian communities, and the antique icon galleries of Mayfair and Kensington.
For London families and collectors
An icon of the family saint for a name day, the Mother of God for a home in Kensington or Belgravia, a Deesis for the study: every work is unique, by an iconographer of the traditional school, fully gilded with 23¾ karat gold, with inscriptions in Greek or Latin. It is also an exceptional gift for Christmas, for Orthodox Easter or as a corporate gift.
