Description from the seller
An antique pair of bronze altar palm vases, in ecclesiastical style, 19th century.
A rare and fascinating pair of palm-holding vases (or altar urns) antique, authentic liturgical objects dating from the 19th century (the 1800s). These artifacts were used in churches, particularly on altars, to support ceremonial palms or floral arrangements, not just candles.
Main Features
Type: Palm vases / altar urns / small palm stands.
Material: bronze, with a process that may include casting or hammered sheet on a wooden backing.
Style: Italian, with scrollwork and arabesques visible on the side handles, typical of the sacred furnishings of the period.
Conditions: The items are presented with their original patina, including a distinctive green oxidation (verdigris) that testifies to the age and authenticity of the piece, highly valued by antique dealers. They are intact, but show signs of time and use.
Dimensions: 20x18x10 cm
