Bronze Tabernacle Crafted by Cheret Ateliers d'Art Liturgique

About the Item

This is a bronze tabernacle crafted and stamped by Cheret Ateliers d'Art Liturgique, a workshop known for its high-quality ecclesiastical and liturgical artistry. The tabernacle has a cylindrical shape with a conical top, crowned by a spherical finial, giving it a distinctive and elegant presence. The tabernacle is made of solid bronze and has a rich, aged patina that enhances its sacred and antique appearance. The front is adorned with a Chi Rho symbol, an early Christian Christogram combining the first two Greek letters of "Christ' (XP). It is also accompanied by a crescent-like design, possibly symbolizing resurrection or the Eucharist. The tabernacle has a single door, secured with a small cross-shaped key, signifying its sacred purpose for storing the Eucharist. The rounded base and smooth cylindrical body reflect traditional craftsmanship, while the conical top lends a unique architectural aesthetic. The piece is both functional and symbolic, serving as a secure and reverent housing for the consecrated hosts in a church or chapel. It's solid construction and timeless design reflect the expertise of Cheret Ateliers d'Art Liturgique, making it a valuable liturgical artifact.

Tabernacle Door, Wood, Metal, 16th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
This type of elements are basic in churches, chapels, etc. since they contain the Sacred Forms, reason why it is logical the abundance, with a series of typologies more habitual and traditional or old than others. There are also iconographies more common than others, a certain thematic preference according to the date or school to which the work belongs, etc., always related to the Sacrifice of Christ, Salvation, Transubstantiation, Eucharist, etc. for being a key element for Christianity (especially the Catholic) what they will always contain. The present work shows a chalice with Sacred Form in what would originally be the interior of the door (very usual iconography) and a somewhat more striking relief to the exterior. Inside that it is a Eucharistic Christ or Eucharistic Savior, the way of presenting it is more usual of the scenes of the Last Supper, being not so frequent to find it alone like this. Compare for example with works such as the door of the tabernacle attributed to Alonso Cano...
