18th/19th Century Tyrolean Eagle Giltwood Altar Stick
About the Item
A rare and most impressive Tyrolean antique hand carved and painted floor-standing torchiere altar lamp with rich detail and beautiful warm, rustic, distressed patina. circa 1800
Born in the Tyrol Alpine region of the northeastern Italy and Austrian Alps in the late 18th / early 19th century, handcrafted in grand, awe inspiring Baroque taste.
Elaborately carved and sculpted, featuring tripartite base with figural Tyrol red and gold eagle coat of arms in scroll form, rich gesso over gilded gold wood, polychrome decorated faux rouge marble finish, sculptural silhouette with tapering squared column shaft, ornate bulbous knop and capital ornamentation, topped with a octagonal drip pan platform mounted with turned nozzle candleholder cup pricket.
The magnificent Italian castle religious altar candlestick captures the reason why we love European antiques so much. Nothing adds character to a piece like the time-worn, natural patina that only age can bring.
Dimensions:
64.75" High, 17.5" Wide. 17" Deep
Great shape overall, especially considering age. Strong and sturdy. Retaining the original finish, elegantly aged, faded warm, mellow coloring, worn, naturally distressed finish, chippy paint and finish losses add to the overall antique authenticity, old world charm, and rich historical depth aquired from over two centuries of a life well lived.
Makes for an excellent accent or statement piece, floor lamp, candle stand or pedestal. The 18th century design is timeless, elegant and sophisticated, but understated and relaxed; complimenting a classical setting, or adding superb contrasting highlights to modern and contemporary interiors.

- 18th/19th Century Italian Baroque Silvered Metal Altar Monstrance ReliquaryLocated in Forney, TXA stunning antique Italian Baroque style silvered metal gilded wood monstrance reliquary. circa 1770-1820 Handmade in Italy in the late 18th / early 19th century, commissioned by the church to display an important religious relic, sculptural painted wood form, mounted with decorative silver repousse metal facing, open oval window where the philatory relic was once housed, rising on a gold gilt painted shaped plinth base. Dimensions: (approx) 17" High, 8" Wide, 5" Deep, 1.25lbs History: Reliquaries (also referred to as a shrine or châsse in French), are containers used to protect and display relics. A portable reliquary may be called a fereter, and a chapel in which it is housed a feretory. A monstrance, also known as an ostensorium (or an ostensory), is a vessel used in Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, High Church Lutheran and Anglican churches for the display on an altar of some object of piety, such as the consecrated Eucharistic host during Eucharistic adoration or Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. It is also used as reliquary for the public display of relics of some saints. The use of reliquaries became an important part of Christian practices from at least the 4th century, initially in the Eastern Churches, which adopted the practice of moving and dividing the bodies of saints much earlier than the West, probably in part because the new capital of Constantinople, unlike Rome, lacked buried saints. Relics are venerated in the Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and some Anglican Churches. Reliquaries provide a means of protecting and displaying relics. While frequently taking the form of caskets, they range in size from simple pendants or rings to very elaborate ossuaries. The relics were enshrined in containers crafted of or covered with gold, silver, gems, and enamel. These objects constituted a important form of artistic production across Europe and Byzantium throughout the Middle Ages. Many were designed with portability in mind, often being exhibited in public or carried in procession on the saint's feast day or on other holy days. Pilgrimages often centered on the veneration of relics. The faithful often venerate relics by bowing before the reliquary or kissing it; those churches which observe the veneration of relics distinguish between the honor given to the saints and the worship that is due to God alone. Sixteenth-century reformers such as Martin Luther opposed the use of relics since many had no proof of historical authenticity and objected to a cult of saints. Many reliquaries, particularly in northern Europe, were destroyed by Calvinists or Calvinist sympathizers during the Reformation...Category
