Arts & Crafts Tabernacle with Solid Silver Mary & Archangel Gabriel Panels, 1910
About the Item
Religious artefact with stunning embossed and inlaid silver plaques.
Antique tabernacles are a rare find, so when we got the chance to purchase this early 20th century example we did not think twice. Especially, because of the stunning and sterling silver religious panels inside the doors and 'roof'. All handcrafted in Europe in the transitional period between the Jugendstil and the Art Deco era, these silver panels represent some of the most stylish and artistic religious art that you will ever come across. Because of the top-quality crafted silver panels and expecting to find makers marks underneath the wooden framework, we decided to carefully take out the Virgin Mary panel. It learned us that this solid silver insert weighs close to 2 pounds, but we found no marks. We decided not to research this religious piece any further, put the silver panel back in place and decided to offer it without knowing who the incredibly skilled designer and metalworker is. The embossed Virgin Mary panel with the Latin text 'AVE GRATIA PLENA' in bas-relief is in excellent condition. So is the stunning silver panel depicting the archangel Gabriel holding the lily flowers. The stylized silver dove with the fully spread wings, representing (the spirit of) Jesus has one dent in the right wing (close to its body), but otherwise it too is in the best possible condition. We have not entirely polished the silver panels so that the depth and the details stand out even more.
The black lacquered, geometric wooden cabinet itself is in the Art Deco style and there is some wear to the surface (as shown in some of our images). Also, the lock has at some point in time been replaced and we have no key to the current lock. This is a two-piece tabernacle and the roof can be taken off. The interior has some staining to the white cloth, but the cloth can easily be replaced and in the middle is the original, copper rod for holding small curtains (see image 3 and 4).
This unique and perfectly handcrafted, religious relic is an absolute joy to own and look at and a real collector's item. An ecclesiastical antique that you find once in your lifetime and great value for money. Also, because perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door within 4 days are complimentary.
Maximum height x width x depth: 32.1 x 21.6 x 16.7 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
