Lovely soft cushion and excellent print. Very pleased with it. - Richard, London
Gothic cushion - soft, durable, made for everyday comfort and available up to 24" x 24".
Medieval stone carving introduces a bold and characterful element to soft furnishings, ideal for adding interest to darker or more eclectic interiors. The textured detail and subdued tones blend well with natural materials, making it a subtle yet intriguing addition to sofas or chairs.
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.

Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
Loved this image of our wedding day and was appropriate for our anniversary too...
Brilliant customer service from the start with an easy website to navigate. Unfortunately when my order arrived the print was damaged, contacted Carol who sent another out for me straight away and kept me updated along the way. Absolutely fantastic service. Thank you.
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.
Brilliant experience and service, we have the Highland Cow framed print, my other half being a lover of cattle and cows and it looks incredible on our picture wall! Thanks Again!!
The absolute perfect image, promptly dispatched, swiftly received. Highly delighted customer. Thank you very much indeed Carol.
