Vintage Florentine Style Triptych Altar - Saint Francis of Assisi & Musical Angels

A beautiful vintage Italian religious triptych in the traditional Florentine style, hand-crafted on a gessoed wooden support.

The central panel features a faithful serigraphic reproduction of the world-famous 13th-century fresco of Saint Francis of Assisi by the pre-Renaissance master Cimabue (originally located in the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi). The two hinged side panels depict elegant musical angels standing against a soft golden background.

The entire piece is richly decorated with hand-applied gold leaf, vibrant green inserts, and intricate punch-work (stamped rosettes and scroll borders) characteristic of early-to-mid 20th-century Florentine artisan workshops.
The reverse side of the doors is equally stunning, featuring a symmetrical pattern of twelve stamped golden rosettes on a green lacquer background, serving as a decorative shield when the altar is closed.

Dimensions : 53.5 cm × 34.5 m × 2.5 cm

In good vintage condition with signs of age and wear that enhance its authentic antique charm.
Minor superficial cracking to the gesso layer and slight rubbing to the gold leaf/patina, entirely consistent with age. Metal hinges are fully functional, allowing the triptych to open and close smoothly and stand securely on flat surfaces.
