The Wood Crafted Church Artifacts are always fascinating. 

The Raw Material is surely an important factor , but always the deifference is being made by the Technician's devotion to final Result. 

A big Thank You to the Greek Community of Ticino (Switzerland) that entrusted us the creation of the Candle Holder made from Solid Linden (Flamouri)

We read about Constantinoupolis most famous embroidery technician, the famous Despina Argyraia, whose golden embroidement creations supplied all the Orthodox Communities during the middle of the 17th century. She used only fine materials of gold metal threads and silk. Her workshop was located near today's Besiktas and consisted of a multitude of students who took care to preserve and spread her art. When they asked her how she was doing it... her answer was one-word... Faith.

In collaboration with Sacred Tailors from all over Greece we created a fine collection of Priestly Items (Vestments, Embroidery, Covers, Rasa, etc.). each of these creations has been selected with 2 strict criteria, the experience of the Craftsman and the quality of the Materials.

The Orthodox community of St Gallen in Switzerland honored us by giving us the opportunity to decorate the Church of Saints Constantine and Helen with an ornate wood-carved Epitaph. 

On the occasion of a recent order from the Church of the Redeemer in California we present one of our favorite Styles. Handmade Enamels! 

With a special Bekachever, the craftsman spreads out in Enamel by decorating a Sprinkler. 

But how was enamel adopted in Orthodox Ecclesiastical Art? 

Enamel is called a thin decorative layer of glass on a metal surface. The oldest enamel objects found are 6 bronze rings dating back to the 14th century BC. 

The Byzantine Empire, together with the silk technique, copied from China and the style of enamel, thus creating a new way in Orthodox Ecclesiastical Art. 

We warmly thank Father Youssef from California for giving us the opportunity to decorate in April 2021 his Temple in California with our enamel objects.

We finally found some time and renewed ourselves! We managed after a few years and developed a forum that we could offer news and thoughts about the rich History of Ecclesiastical Art.

Our goal is to give you a fuller and more detailed picture of our company, the services we offer you and the various projects we have implemented. Of course, we are always open to your comments and suggestions. We always want to listen to the needs, opinions, and ideas you would like to share with us.

For 50 years we have remained faithful to the lessons and catalyses of traditional Byzantine art. From then until today our creations adorn numerous churches all over the world.

The next generation of the family continues consistently the work of our father Antony Agritelis and at the same time promotes Christian Art all over the world through internet.

Thank you for the trust and support you have shown us over the years and we welcome you to our new blog!
