Gothic framed poster - cleanly presented and available up to 24in x 16in.
Historic ecclesiastical carving brings a distinctive and thought-provoking presence to interiors, particularly in studies, libraries, or spaces with a darker, heritage-inspired style. The detailed textures and muted tones suit traditional or gothic-inspired décor, offering a conversation piece for those drawn to history and symbolism.
Within St Martin’s Church in Burton Agnes, the table tomb of Sir Walter Griffith, who died in 1487, features a striking and unusual arrangement of carved skulls and bones. These macabre details reflect late medieval attitudes toward mortality, serving as a visual reminder of the inevitability of death. Such imagery was not uncommon in church monuments of the period, where the concept of memento mori encouraged reflection on life, faith, and the passage of time. The craftsmanship and symbolism offer a tangible link to the beliefs and artistic traditions of the late 15th century.
In this image, the carved skulls are shown in close detail, their worn surfaces and layered forms creating a dense, textured composition. Subtle variations in tone highlight the age and weathering of the stone, while the tight framing removes surrounding context to focus entirely on the intricate carving. The natural light enhances the depth and shadow between each element, reflecting the character of the original artwork.
This framed poster offers a simple and contemporary way to display your chosen image. Professionally printed and presented within a lightweight wooden frame, it provides a clean, ready-to-hang option suitable for a wide range of interiors.
Your image is printed on 170gsm semi-gloss poster paper, producing clear detail and balanced colour with a subtle sheen. The semi-gloss surface enhances vibrancy while reducing excessive glare, allowing the artwork to remain visible in a variety of lighting conditions. All paper used is FSC-certified or equivalent, supporting responsibly sourced materials.
The poster is fitted within a solid pine wood frame with a slim, modern profile that complements both contemporary and classic styles. Frames are available in black, white, natural wood, or dark brown, with either a smooth or natural grain finish depending on the colour selected.
Each frame is fitted with shatter-resistant plexiglass, a lightweight alternative to traditional glass that offers clear viewing while helping to protect the artwork from everyday handling. The smooth surface is easy to clean and helps maintain the appearance of the print over time.
Supplied with a hanging kit and ready to hang on arrival, this carved skulls and bones framed poster print provides a straightforward way to add framed artwork to your home or workspace.

I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
Loved this image of our wedding day and was appropriate for our anniversary too...
Lovely soft cushion and excellent print. Very pleased with it.
