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...

19th Century Micromosaic 'Grand Tour' Decorative Box of Architecture Scenes
By Vatican Mosaic Studio
Located in London, GB
A ‘Grand Tour’ casket
This lockable casket is made of English pollarded oak inset with five Italian polychrome micromosaic plaques.
Micromosaic is a type of work consisting of thousands of tiny hand-made glass tiles, which are uniformly shaped into strings while at a hot temperature, cooled, cut and then placed by hand into the desired design.
The plaques depict various scenes one may have seen while visiting Rome during a Grand Tour of Europe; an event for ‘young aristocrats’ in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Scenes include the ‘Doves of Pliny’ (top); Temples of Saturn and Vespasian situated in the Roman Forum (front); Pantheon and St Peter's Square (sides); and the Colosseum (back).
The plaques have been attributed to the Studio del Musaico dell Reverenda Fabbrica di S. Pietro (Mosaic Studio of the Reverenced Work Shop of St. Peter’s) and were likely made in the early-to-mid-nineteenth century and brought to England and inserted into this casket. Studio del Musaico dell Reverenda Fabbrica di S. Pietro was established around 1576 to create architectural mosaics for the new basilica, and was later recognized as a distinct entity in 1727, supplying extraordinarily detailed views of Rome to the new industry of ‘tourism’, in the form of tabletops, tablets and jewellery, just as these plaques exemplify.
The 2nd century AD floor mosaics in Hadrian’s villa in Tivoli, near Rome, were discovered in 1737, inspired the top scene of the ‘Doves of Pliny’. The side panels depicting the Pantheon and St Peter’s Square were inspired by the period’s local architecture, which is significant, as today the Pantheon has been since altered. As history tells us, in the early 17th century, Gian Lorenzo Bernini was commissioned to design and add two Baroque bell towers to the Pantheon, which was originally constructed in the 1st century BC under the orders of Marcus Agrippa...
