Neoclassical Triple Medallion Hanging Panel Set with Floral Insets & Ribbon Crest

Design & Inspiration

Some wall pieces ask to be glanced at. This one commands the eye from across the room. Three circular medallion panels, each framing a hand-painted floral still life, are suspended vertically in an unbroken ribbon-and-laurel chain that rises to an arched bow crest at the top and closes with a matching bow at the base. The whole composition moves — not literally, but visually — the carved laurel sprays and ribbon knots creating a rhythm that draws the gaze upward, then downward, then back again. Faithfully reproduced in the tradition of French Louis XVI decorative wall panels, this piece brings the refined vocabulary of late 18th-century Versailles interiors into a contemporary room without apology.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame is hand-carved from solid Romanian redwood (under 10% humidity), then finished in a warm gilded tone over a traditional gesso ground — the same layered preparation technique that gives classical gilt work its depth and warmth rather than flat metallic shine. The carved laurel wreaths surrounding each medallion are cut with fine detail: individual leaves, berries, and ribbon folds that cast their own tiny shadows. The three circular insets each feature a hand-painted floral composition — roses, tulips, and mixed blooms arranged in the Flemish still-life tradition — set against a dark ground that makes the colours read with the clarity of enamel. Each medallion is a small painting in its own right. The connecting ribbon swags between the panels are modelled in relief, tying the three frames into a single vertical sculptural object rather than a set of three separate pieces.

Dimensions & Details

The complete hanging arrangement spans a generous vertical length, with the three medallion frames connected by carved ribbon swags and crowned by an arched ribbon crest at the top. Total weight is 4 kg, appropriate for a standard picture hook or wall anchor. The piece is finished and ready to hang — no assembly required. Available in multiple gilded finish variants to suit different interior palettes.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every element of this panel set is produced by hand in our Egyptian workshops, where craftsmen trained in the European classical tradition work alongside woodcarvers and painters to produce pieces that honour the source material. The carving, gilding, and hand-painting are each separate disciplines — and all three are present here, in a single hanging composition. Brass & Wood produces each piece individually, which means minor natural variations between sets are a feature of the handmade process, not a defect. Customisation in finish colour and size is available on request.
