Description from the seller
Ancient reliquary frame with paper mounts and metallic embroidery – Saint Matthew the Apostle – 18th/19th century
Beautiful old reliquary frame featuring a rich devotional work composed of gold and silver thread, flowers, arabesques and raised ornaments, arranged on a textile background.
At the center, an oval reliquary under a beveled glass houses a relic of Saint Matthew, the apostle and evangelist, accompanied by his Latin manuscript titulus S. Mathei .A.
The composition also includes two circular ornaments at the top and bottom, as well as several ancient handwritten strips bearing Latin inscriptions, including S. Justi.
The whole is protected by a glass cover and presented in its original gilded wooden frame, with a suspension ring on the reverse.
Estimated period: 18th–19th century.
Condition: good antique condition, with patina, wear to the gilding, small alterations and traces of time. Old back textile preserved on the reverse.
After verification, the relics are textile or mineral fragments, not human remains.
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
