Religious objects (3) - Bronzed brass, Brass - 1930-1940 - Cartagloria Triptych

Trittico Cartagloria (also called the table of the Canon or the tables of the secrets), an important liturgical aid used from the 16th century in the Tridentine Mass (or Latin Mass of St. Pius V).

Central Cartagloria of dimensions 21.5x28x4.5 cm is the largest in the set, topped by a small cross, and contains central texts of the Tridentine Mass such as the Gloria and the Creed.

Side Cartaglorie of dimensions 21.5x14x4.5 cm are two smaller tables, also with a top cross; one bears the beginning of the Gospel of John (Initium S. Evangelii Secundum Joannem), while the other contains the prayers for the washing of the hands (Sacerdos cum lavat manus).

Beautiful complete specimens that present a graphic style influenced by Art Deco / Beuronese style (first half of the 20th century) and are set in a frame of brass-bronze finely worked with pedestals and finials topped with crosses.

Despite their age they are in good condition although there are stains and small oxidations on the metal. Glass panes intact and the text inscriptions well legible and therefore in excellent condition.
