Old English Zodiac Panel

Old English Zodiac Panel presents twelve individually framed scenes arranged across a pale glazed ceramic field. Each compartment contains a painted figure, creature or symbolic episode associated with the zodiac. Soft blues, ochres, greens and muted reds give the composition the character of an illustrated almanac translated into tile.

The signs are organised in three measured rows, creating a clear visual rhythm across the Old English Zodiac Panel. Visible joints preserve the ceramic grid, while differences in costume, gesture, landscape and animal imagery ensure that each pictorial zodiac scene retains its own identity.

An Illustrated Zodiac Almanac

Compared with the deeper blue and more courtly character of the mediaeval zodiac panels, this hand-painted zodiac panel feels lighter and more pastoral. Its figures resemble small narrative vignettes rather than isolated astrological emblems, bringing folklore, seasonal imagery and everyday life into the wider celestial theme.

The Old English Zodiac Panel suits library alcoves, private studies, staircase landings and framed wall installations where its individual scenes can be examined closely.

Bespoke Old English Zodiac Panels

Paris Ceramics specialises in the Old English Zodiac Panel and other bespoke hand-painted ceramic panels designed to transform walls, splashbacks and interior features. Starting with a handmade tile base – available with a white crackle glaze or subtle colour-wash backgrounds – each new panel is conceived and painted to order by skilled artists.

These panels offer more than decoration: they provide a narrative tailored to the character of a space. From neo-classical symmetry and mediaeval motifs to pastoral scenes and playful naïve styles, designs may be adapted from the Paris Ceramics archive or developed from a client brief.

Panels can be scaled for different environments, including kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls, fireplace surrounds and feature walls. Clients may collaborate with the artists on subject matter, colour palette and level of detail.

The resulting Old English Zodiac Panel brings symbolism, ceramic craft and storytelling together in a composition shaped for its setting.
