A family heritage

    Sacred icons for historic homes, villas and private chapels

    In great families the icon has always been a patrimony: commissioned for an event, kept in the house chapel, handed down from generation to generation. Today as then, a bespoke hand-painted icon is a work that carries the family's name through time.

    For the family chapel

    A private chapel can house a single icon on the altar, a Deesis, a cycle of liturgical feasts or the patron saints of family members. The design takes into account the architecture, the lighting and the liturgy to be celebrated there.

    A documented work

    Every icon comes with a certificate of authenticity on real parchment and photographic documentation of every stage of work, from the raw panel to the final olifa, as well as a booklet explaining its subject and symbolism. It is the history of the work, which will stay with it for generations to come.
