The Process

The Commission Process

1

Private Consultation

Submit your inquiry through our secure form. Our team will review your request and arrange a private consultation—typically by phone or video call—to discuss your vision, requirements, and specifications.

2

Sacred Subject & Placement Review

We review the sacred subject matter and intended placement—ensuring the work meets liturgical standards, spatial requirements, and devotional intent. For churches, we consult with clergy advisors as needed.

3

Sketch, Scale & Materials Proposal

Our artisans prepare detailed sketches, scale drawings, and material specifications for your review. You will receive a comprehensive proposal outlining timeline, pricing, and all design elements for your approval.

4

Artisan Creation

Once approved, your sacred work begins. Our master artisans work with traditional techniques—egg tempera, hand carving, lost-wax casting, water gilding—and keep you informed of progress throughout creation.

5

Finishing, Documentation & Approval

The finished work receives final finishing—patina, varnish, or protective coating. You receive photographs for approval, along with certificate of authenticity, artisan documentation, and care instructions.

6

Crating, Delivery & Installation Support

Your artwork is carefully crated to museum specifications and shipped with full insurance. We coordinate white-glove delivery and provide consultation for mounting, placement, and installation in your sacred space.
