This print by James O. Davies showcases the exquisite beauty of a mother-of-pearl inlay at St Andrews Church in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. The intricate detail captured here is truly mesmerizing, as delicate white flowers and leaves come to life through the artistry of silverwork. This stunning lectern, adorned with a floral design by Ernest Gimson, stands as a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts movement. The play between light and shadow on the mother-of-pearl creates an ethereal glow that adds depth and dimension to this piece. Each individual pearl seems to shimmer with its own unique iridescence, enhancing the overall elegance of this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where attention to detail was paramount. The dedication required for such meticulous work is evident in every stroke of silver delicately placed within each petal or leaf.

It invites us to appreciate not only the grandeur of St Andrews Church but also the smaller details that often go unnoticed. James O.
