About the Item

Crafted in Italy circa 1850, this elegant pair of antique church reliquaries stands on molded rectangular bases and showcases beautifully hand-carved scrollwork adorned with floral and shell motifs. Each religious carving features a shaped mercury glass mirror framed by deeply sculpted acanthus leaves and intricate Baroque-inspired ornamentation. Traces of original polychrome and red bole peek through the aged gilding, adding warmth and authenticity to the richly textured surface. Both pieces retain their original gold leaf finish with a wonderful patinated glow, and remain in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Exquisitely detailed from every angle, these devotional carvings would make a striking addition to a mantel, console, or entry table, bringing a touch of Italian ecclesiastical elegance to any interior. Measures: 18" W × 7" D × 38.75" H.
