A commanding door panel painted in the Byzantine icon tradition, with Archangel Gabriel rendered as both guardian and threshold - a presence that turns an entrance into a statement.

Executed on solid timber boards and finished with a deliberately timeworn patina , this panel carries the visual authority of historic icon doors: a frontal figure, a gilded halo, and richly muted pigments that sit deep within the grain of the wood. The surface is intentionally aged - rubbed edges, softened colour, visible board joins and oxidised markings - so the piece reads like an original rescued from a monastery rather than a modern reproduction.

Gabriel’s spear and stylised garment folds create a strong vertical rhythm, ideal for tall door formats, concealed doors, or as a flanking panel to form an iconostasis-inspired installation. De Ferranti can supply this as a single door face, a pair, or as part of a full architectural set with matching panels, transoms, and framing elements.

Suitable for private chapels, statement entrances, libraries, wine rooms, and atmospheric interiors that want history, symbolism, and craft - without theatricality.
