18th Century Italian Gilded Tabernacle with a Hand-Carved Chalice Fragment

About the Item

18th century Italian gilded and hand-carved tabernacle adorned with an 18th century Italian gilt chalice and Sabina Faye Braxton gaufrage fabric. This tabernacle once belonged in a historical Italian church and housed the eucharist. The word "tabernacle" means "dwelling place." The inside contains a gilded and hand-carved Italian 18th century chalice fragment artifact which symbolizes the eucharist. The inside of the door still has the original antique braid. The inside of the tabernacle is lined with Sabrina Faye Braxton antique textile gaufrage velvet. Gaufrage is a technique derived from medieval embossing techniques of dusting embossed velvet in tarnished metals and suffusing the crushed pile with iridescent inks. This is the most elaborate and labor-intensive of techniques, capturing the essence of aging brocades, erosion, and patina. The design of the velvet highlights the chalice. Together, the ecclesiastical piece creates a historically significant work of art. *Can be displayed free-standing, hung on a wall, or be inset into a wall.
