Decorative paneling from the Palace of Westminster 1840s - 1850s

This carved oak panel, designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin in the 1840s, is a striking example of the Gothic Revival style. Pugin, a leading architect and designer of the movement, emphasized the use of historic forms and materials, as seen in the panel's intricate carving and rich wood grain. Originally part of the Palace of Westminster in London, this decorative panel showcases Pugin's commitment to reviving traditional craftsmanship and his influence on the design of the iconic building.
