I'd be surprised. It's early 20thC, a time when jobbing tradesfolk who could run a line in 'acceptable pastiche of Renaissance art for churches' were not uncommon. So common, in fact, that the vast majority of pieces like this were unsigned, in the same way that jobbing graphic designers or people drawing draughts etc don't sign their name. It's not art, it's just the job. It's very cool to have it in your house, though, because the people doing this work were definitely skilled (pastiche is much, much harder than you might think). The fact it was probably done by a man in overalls call Fred who would never have called himself an artist doesn't make it any less neat.
