1890s Religious Items

A very fine Italian 19th century porcelain plaque of Madonna della Primavera ("Madonna detter Primavera with Bambino"), after Nicolò Barabino (1831-1891). The finely painted standing Madonna holding baby Jesus in her arms surrounded by flowers, framed in a Gothic revival style giltwood carved frame. The back inscribed: "Madonna detter Primavera - nach Barabino" and handwritten "E. Guenther, Phila". Signed lower left corner, circa 1890-1900. Nicolò Barabino (1831–1891) was an Italian academic painter of religious and historical subjects, active in Florence and Genoa. He was born in Sampierdarena.

Rare and good condition, Gothic-art shrine for standing or wall-hanging. This handsome and decorative, Gothic wall shrine is completely hand-crafted out of solid oak and it will look awesome, no matter where you decide to mount or place her. It must have taken its creator quite a few days to first draw this intricate design on paper and then hand carve the entire piece out of solid oak. The Gothic Style elements are deeply handcarved in both doors and they make this shrine highly decorative and an absolute joy to own and look at. This cabinet chapel (or chapel cabinet) comes with its brass lock in perfect working order and also with its original gothic style key. The handgrip is in fact a Gothic trefoil symbol (for the trinity). What also makes this piece extra attractive is the Gothic church window-like frame behind the doors. It is among the finest we have seen to date and on top of that this antique also has a beautiful and rich patina. By the way, the bronze Mary statuette is not included in our price. Finally, thanks to the hook in the back, mounting this antique chapel...
