AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent reliquary box or liturgical bronze ciselé – 19th century or early 20th century
Beautiful small rectangular bronze patinated box, Neo-Gothic in style with religious themes. This art object of great finesse features finely carved bas-relief biblical scenes on all its faces.
Description:
Decorated lid with several panels depicting scenes from the life of Christ and the saints (Crucifixion, Entombment, worshippers in prayer, etc.).
Side faces richly adorned with Gothic motifs, arches, crosses and religious figures.
Lovely antique patina with original gold highlights still visible.
Closure by bronze hinge and hasp.
Goldsmithing or casting work of very high quality, typical of European workshops in the 19th century specializing in sacred or devotional objects.
Condition: Very good overall condition, beautiful period patina, some signs of use normal for an object of this age. No restorations.
Usage:
This box was probably intended to preserve relics, consecrated host wafers, liturgical objects or precious devotion-related jewelry. It today constitutes a rare and elegant collectible piece, perfect for a lover of religious art, a collector of antique bronzes, or a decorator seeking authenticity.
Reference: Neo-Gothic religious box – Carved bronze
