Pair of Late 19th Century Gothic Revival Oak and Cast Iron Balustrades

About the Item

Neo-Gothic choir screens resp. 2 balustrades from the late 19th century. Solidly made of oak wood and cast iron. Choir screens have been part of the interior decoration of churches since early Christian times. Today, as then, they separate the space for the clergy (choir) from the lay space. The front side was therefore intended for the believing public, while the back side was only visible to the clergy. This example has transverse rectangular balustrades made of oak with profiled cranked bases and cornices. A cast-iron insert with trefoil motifs and finials is flanked by blind tracery. At the back of each is a small lockable door, which presumably served to store liturgical candles. Dimensions each: 79.5 cm high / 31.3 inch high, 202.5 cm wide / 79.7 inch wide, 22.5 cm deep / 8.9 inch deep. Restored to a living room standard (including new locks fitted, surface waxed).

  • Late 19th Century Gothic Revival Reliquary Casket
    Located in Dusseldorf, DE
    A Gothic Revival reliquary. Circa late 19th / early 20th century. Made of solid oak with fine carving. Reliquaries have been used to store relics since the Middle Ages. In sacred architecture they are often located behind the main altar in the chancel. In addition to classical, often church-like caskets, anthropomorphic, so-called "speaking" reliquaries were also made, which already inform the viewer about their contents through their own design. Mostly they were made of precious metals and decorated with rich sculptural ornaments or precious stones. One of the most famous examples of reliquaries is the Epiphany shrine of Nicholas of Verdun from the late 12th or early 13th century in Cologne Cathedral. The reliquary offered here has an architectural structure with a rectangular ground plan. The three-sided glazed box with a dormer roof rests on a plinth. A total of 8 columns of Corinthian order form the arcades which are crowned on both long sides by 3 lancets each and enclose the lancet windows...
