AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent low cabinet or devotional missal furniture in a narrow, elegant format, ideal as a decorative element or for collection.
• Origin and Context: From Western Europe, originally conceived as liturgical or oratory furniture for the display of small sacred images.
• Style and Carving: Stands out for its richly handcrafted sculptural work. The front door features blind Gothic tracery with rosettes and pointed arches; the sides display vegetal friezes, and the upper back (crest) includes three finials with a central relief of a winged cherub.
• Cabinetmaking and Construction: A piece of high traditional craftsmanship. The rear shows signs of manual wood-cutting, and it features joints secured with flat-headed wooden pegs.
• Condition: Excellent condition. Completely free of wood-borers. It shows a beautiful original patina and only light superficial wear due to the passage of time that do not affect its integrity, details shown in photograph

• Total height (floor to crest): 109 cm
• Width (top surface): 51 cm
• Depth: 34 cm
• Weight: approx. 50 kilograms
