Spanish Colonial Gilt Wood Reliquary or Table Box

About the Item

This is an outstanding example of a late 18th/early 19th century Spanish Colonial Reliquary or table box. The emerald green combined with the gold leaf decoration makes this gorgeous box even more eye-catching. The reliquary is in overall very good condition with restorations to one back leg; it appears to retain its original painted and gilt surface with only minor restorations. The interior cut velvet lining is most probably an old replacement.
