    Hand-painted sacred icons for Houston

    Houston has a special relationship with Byzantine art: for fifteen years the Menil Collection kept in its Byzantine Fresco Chapel the 13th-century frescoes of a Cypriot church, returned to the island in 2012. Today the city has vibrant, prosperous Greek Orthodox, Antiochian and Catholic communities.

    Gift ideas in Houston and nearby

    For the opening of company headquarters, a family business anniversary, a wedding or a baptism, an icon hand-painted in Italy is a gift uniting prestige and meaning. For a residence in River Oaks or The Woodlands, size and frame are designed around the space and the light.

    Commissioning and shipping to the United States

    Consultations take place online, in English or Italian, at a time that suits your time zone. During the work you receive photographs of every stage; the icon arrives with its certificate of authenticity on real parchment and an explanatory booklet in English. Shipments to the United States require customs documentation and, because international rules and conditions change often, arrangements, timing, costs and any import charges are checked at the time of commission.

    The time of prayer begins with the commission
