Reclaimed Gothic Church Pew Modesty Screen (Frontal) – 85” – Solid Black Walnut

Description :
This reclaimed Gothic church pew modesty screen, also known as a pew frontal, measures approximately **85" W x 40" T** and is crafted from solid black walnut. Originally installed in front of the first row of pews or the choir section, this architectural panel concealed the structural framing beneath the seating while creating a refined Gothic focal point within the sanctuary. Rich walnut grain, carved Gothic detailing, and a deep stained finish highlight the craftsmanship of early ecclesiastical woodworking. Decades of use have produced an authentic patina, making this piece equally suited for reuse as a headboard, feature wall, restaurant accent, or architectural installation.
