Heritage Sign Painting. Hand-Painted Pub Signs & Storytelling Panels
Hand-painted pub signs are a disappearing craft.
At House of Lyria, I bring these traditional storytelling paintings back to life—with care, warmth and a deep respect for local history.
Brewery Sign – The Old Coach House
Where memory, craft and hand-painted detail become a lasting heirloom.

The brewery workers and cart—a quiet portrait of local history

Honouring local history through hand-painted craft
The Old Coach House stands on the former site of a historic brewery in Cambridgeshire.
To honour this story, we created a double-sided sign inspired by early 20th-century photographs: workers in their aprons, the brewery cart and the original courtyard buildings.
The sign was hand-painted on a large iron oval, then mounted in a bespoke wrought-iron bracket forged by R.M. Hillam Ironworks. Together they form a sculptural tribute to the heritage of the site —a small work of art that remains part of the landscape.

A Hand-Painted Sign for Your Home or Business
Even without owning a pub or brewery, you can embrace the tradition of hand-painted signage.
Wooden signs bring warmth, character and a touch of heritage to party rooms, home bars, guest houses, or small businesses.

Hand-Painted Logos & Emblems
Where love, memory and hand-painted detail become a lasting heirloom.

A hand-painted logo mural becomes the quiet heart of your brand
Cambridge Acoustic wanted their vibrant, detailed logo to make a statement on a large industrial wall. The black background enhances the golden and turquoise acoustic dots, while crisp white lettering gives the logo a powerful, professional and artistic presence.
Every emblem I create begins with rhythm—the quiet pulse of a brand, a place, or an idea.
Whether painted on a wall, a facade, or a studio interior, each mark is built by hand, layer by layer, until it carries its own presence: calm, resonant and unmistakably lived-in.








The movement of paint across the surface
A moment of pure colour, where identity becomes delight
