Description from the seller
Neo-Gothic tabernacle in carved and polychromed wood
Provenance: Old European private collection.
Region: Spain.
Period: Late 19th – early 20th century (ca. 1880–1920).
Material: Carved, polychromed and gilded wood.
Style: Neo-Gothic.
Dimensions: 54 x 30 x 20 cm
Interesting altar tabernacle made of carved and polychromed wood, belonging to the Neo-Gothic movement developed between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its architecture simplistically reproduces medieval models through turned pilasters topped with pinnacles, a door with a pointed arch, and a vertical composition inspired by Gothic religious architecture.
The door retains a chalice carved in relief, one of the main Eucharistic symbols of Christianity, which identifies the liturgical function of the piece. Inside it housed the ciborium with the consecrated hosts, considered the most sacred place of the temple. The presence of the chalice on the door visually recalls the Eucharist and the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
Seller's Story
I am an antiquarian passionate about sacred art, religious icons, and the spiritual manifestations of art in all its forms. I have always been fascinated by the dialogue between faith, aesthetics, and history, which is why my collection ranges from European devotional carvings, reliquaries and terracotta figures to Byzantine icons, Oriental works, and pieces from Asia.
I like discovering objects that transmit soul, that preserve the imprint of time and the devotion with which they were created. I enjoy studying their origin, their technique, and their historical context, always seeking authenticity and the beauty that makes them unique.
In addition to religious art, I am also drawn to curiosities and singular pieces from the ancient and colonial worlds—those that tell stories through materials and symbols. My work as an antiquarian is, above all, a way of preserving memory and sharing with others the spiritual and artistic value of each object.
