Saint King David the Builder
Table Icon, Cloisonné Enamel Technique
This table icon of Saint King David the Builder is crafted using the cloisonné enamel technique — a rare and valuable art form that combines the precision of jewelry work with beauty and symbolism. Unlike painted icons, enamel does not fade over time, is resistant to moisture and temperature changes, and maintains its vibrant colors and sharp details for many years.
Saint David IV was one of Georgia’s greatest rulers, honored as a wise king, defender of the faith, and unifier of the nation. He was called “the Builder” for his significant contribution to the development of culture, spirituality, and national unity. On the icon, he is depicted as a pious Christian ruler, radiating dignity and inner strength.
The icon is set on a solid metal base, framed with a decorative border. Its compact size makes it perfect for a home prayer corner, office desk, or as a meaningful gift for a special occasion — such as baptism, name day, or house blessing.
