About the Item
This antique 17th century Louis XIV period Italian architectural altarpiece fragment is made of a masterfully sculpted rectangular solid wood panel, entirely gilded with gold leaves, centered by a gilt and lacquer religious nativity scene framed by architectural details.
This religious artwork is an absolutely stunning late 1600 original masterpiece, probably part of a tabernacle, a liturgical furnishing used to house the Eucharist.
It is constructed of hand carved wood on both sides of the panel four columns with Corinthian capitals sculpted in the round are the architectural element that ideally contains the gilded and lacquered high relief with a beautiful nativity scene. The hand carved crib scene with Baby Jesus, cherubs and many other characters is enclosed in a molded oval frame embellished with floral carvings. The foliate and natural patterns are also repeated on both sides and on the lower central part of the altarpiece.
The elaborate and perfectly carved polychrome and gilt ornamentation show the highest level of workmanship and overall quality of this altar is unsurpassed.
This unique and original masterpiece tabernacle is a great piece to display in your collection, it could be now used as an headboard, a one of a kind over door frieze or as a sculpture to decorate the wall in the most charming way.
The condition of this work, which is more than 400 years old, is incredibly good. Structurally perfect, some slight touches to the gilding as can be expected from such an ancient object but still with original patina and very warm gold coloring.

18th Century Spanish Altarpiece, Wallmounted Sculpture, Carved Gilwood
Located in Valladolid, ES
One of a kind Set of two pieces belonging to a monumental Baroque altarpiece made in the 18th century.
These are two magnificent carvings of large dimensions, which together make a semicircular piece with a profuse decoration also of monumental proportions of plant forms.
Decoration with elaborate carved rolls, which stand out from the general structure. It comes from a Spanish church that housed an imposing altarpiece made in the second half of the 18th century.
The entire visible surface is gilded with original gold leaf, with imperceptible subsequent touch-ups. The back is reinforced, which makes the pieces very strong and heavy.
In the photographs you can see the approach of its collectors: they placed it as a headboard, it looked impressive! But these exclusive pieces can be presented in many possible ways, either as part of the wall or as a work of art.
Due to its enormous size, the configuration chosen for transport is "the buyer picks up the piece" but if, once awarded, you want to contract transport, we will provide it (we have a team of experts).
Total measurements: 450 cm (width) x 160cm (height) x 25cm (depth)
Measurements of each piece (2): 225cm (width) x 160cm (height) x 25cm (depth)
It is a unique opportunity to acquire two exclusive pieces in the world of antiques.
