Marvelous antique Gothic Architectural Ecclesiastic church spire or steeple with pivoting shrine & distressed finish. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, there are pieces of wood missing throughout the structure and it has an all-over distressed patinated finish. A lower back support was added and a slatted back piece for stability by our professional craftsmen. It has also been reglued and re nailed for stability. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 18th to 19th Century. WOW!!! What have we HERE??? Is it a Spire? YES! Is it a Steeple? YES! Well, isn’t it kind of a Tower? Also, YES!!! And it is MAGNIFICENT!!! We have a GORGEOUS mid to late 19th Century Gothic Architectural Ecclesiastic church spire or steeple with a pivoting center shrine bearing a “perfectly imperfect” distressed finish. The use of spires, steeples, and towers on Christian church buildings became common around the eighth century! Spires were (and still are) most commonly used in Gothic architecture… particularly in cathedrals and churches symbolizing heavenly aspirations as well as offering a visual spectacle of extreme height exhibiting tall steeples symbolically pointed to heaven. It serves to remind all who worship Him that God should be held above all else as He sits at the highest point. Isn’t that interesting?? Honestly, we think this whole spectacle is nothing short of incredible!! It has four extra tall hand carved, sculpted spires and two lower ones in front just below the beautifully sculpted cross in the center. It is covered in hand carved Gothic details and features a pivoting center shrine which was most likely used to hold a chalice or the communion offering during church service. It is comprised of patinated wood and bears an all-over distressed finish and throughout the entire frame pieces of wood are missing here and there… it is absolutely beautiful in its rustic-ness! It already had the dark wood box behind the rotating shrine so we added a lighter wood support below and a slatted back piece and front stretcher to give the structure stability. When we obtained it we were told a fun story from a man that claimed it came from an old church in New Orleans… oooooooh!!! Not sure if it’s factual but it’s a cool story! We think it would make an awesome PET PALACE!! That’s right!!! The open bottom would be a great space to place a dog bed or a litter pan for you cat lovers and then set your furry friends’ food & water bowls above. Talk about the ultimate Cat Castle or Royal Residence for Rover!!!! OR… if you are into gaming and love yourself some Minecraft… talk about bringing your Sanctum build to life!! It would be an AWESOME shrine to display or store your gaming components and collectibles!! It’s a wonderful way to exhibit a lovely sculpture...
