Triptych - Bronze - 1850-1900 - Russian Orthodox Triptych

Raro e pregiato trittico ortodosso russo in bronzo fuso con decorazioni a smalto bianco, tipico delle officine dei Vecchi Credenti (Старообрядцы) del XIX secolo. Il trittico è composto da tre pannelli collegati da cerniere originali e riccamente decorati su entrambi i lati. Le tre scene principali, in rilievo molto dettagliato, rappresentano: - pannello superiore: la Crocifissione con la Vergine e San Giovanni ai lati, angeli e figure in preghiera. Molto elaborata e di qualità alta. - pannello centrale: la Dormizione della Madre di Dio (Uspenie). La Vergine distesa, Cristo che riceve la sua anima, apostoli e angeli attorno. - pannello inferiore: la Natività di Cristo con animali, i Magi, la Vergine e San Giuseppe, resa in iconografia ortodossa tradizionale. Il bordo dei pannelli è arricchito da smalti bianchi a goccia, molto ben conservati, che valorizzano ogni scena. Il trittico mantiene una patina uniforme, cerniere integre e rilievi molto nitidi. Condizioni: ottime per l’epoca, smalti ben conservati, nessuna rottura, cerniere funzionanti.

The enamelled border is exceptionally well preserved, and the casting quality is very high. Original hinges, sharp reliefs, and a balanced patina throughout. Condition: Excellent for its age. Enamel well preserved, strong structure, no cracks or repairs.
