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.
