WHAT IS A FLORENTINE RELIC? A GUIDE TO OUR WOOD WALL ART: A relic is the common name for an item that has significant religious or sentimental value. During the Renaissance period in Florence, Italy, it was common for artworks to be directly painted on to gilded wood - essentially a painting on wood. They might also be described as an antique painting, relic painting, gold leaf painting or rustic painting. Our pieces aim to recreate the look & feel of those relics using more modern techniques. Our pieces are not gilded with real gold, instead we use imitation leaf to achieve an amazing finish at a very affordable price.
