Description from the seller
Silver triptych reliquary formed of three linked reliquary medallions representing the Theological Virtues – 19th century - Italy
Rare silver triptych reliquary, composed of three oval medallions joined in an openwork mount. The frames are richly worked with scrolls, volutes and relief foliage.
Each medallion, protected by a pane of glass, contains several relics arranged on a fabric background and accompanied by handwritten Latin labels. Notably, mentions of Saint John the Baptist, Saint Peter the Apostle, Saint Paul the Apostle, Saint James the Greater, and Saint Louis IX, as well as other saints whose inscriptions are more difficult to read.
The reverse sides, particularly decorative, feature three religious scenes in relief, depicting allegorical female figures that may evoke the Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope and Charity.
Work probably European from the 19th century, in the Baroque taste.
Good overall condition considering its age
Several tituli are displaced and no longer seem to occupy their original positions.
One pane of glass is cracked.. Signs of use and age are visible.
The photos are an integral part of the object's description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment
The object will be carefully wrapped and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Mineral or textile relics, no human remains.
Happy bidding
In accordance with Canon Law (can. 1190 §1), this sale concerns the reliquary only as a sacred art object. The relics it contains are not the subject of the transaction, but are included gratuitously for their historical and cultural value.
