Gothic Revival Extremely Detailed Gilt Brass & Bronze Church Altar Missal Stand
About the Item
Stunning 19th century Gothic church bible or missal stand with 'gemstones'.
This rare, late 1800s, gilt bronze bible stand has beautiful details and it is in remarkably good condition. The stunning design with the extremely detailed and gilt Gothic trefoil and quatrefoil and leaf motifs on the front are just some of the multiple Gothic symbols that make this altar bible stand an absolute joy to look at. We have seen and sold a few antique bible stands before, but never did we come across one with such amazing details, it is almost like antique filigree work. What makes this particular, Gothic church altar piece even more special are the inlaid, diamond-like stones on the front and the colorful, rounded gem stones on the sides. We assume they are colored glass ones, because we don't think they were ever made with real gemstones. But the fact that they are all original, all there still and completely intact too is very rare. Other eye-catching features are the gilt bronze claw feet and the hand engraved cross on top of this antique altar stand. This richly decorated, perfectly gilt and impressive missal also stands as strong and stable as the day it was hand-crafted and former owners clearly looked after it. For all those reasons it is very much ready to be enjoyed and taken care of by a new custodian.
This antique church relic is great value for money. Especially since perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary.
Maximum width x depth x height when 'closed': 11.8 x 12.2 x 5.9 inches.
Maximum width x height of the flat brass surface on which the bible rests: 11 x 10.6 inches.
Depth of the ridge on which the bottom of your bible rests: 1.95 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Additional photos available upon request Dimensions: (approx) 14.75" High, 6.75" Wide, 6.75" Deep; 13.25 lbs total History: A reliquary (also referred to as a shrine, by the French term châsse or monstrance) is a container for important religious relics. The earliest reliquaries were essentially boxes, either simply box-shaped or based on an architectural design, taking the form of a model of a church with a pitched roof. These latter are known by the French term chasse, and typical examples from the 12th to 14th century have wooden frameworks with gilt-copper plaques nailed on, decorated in champlevé enamel. Limoges was the largest production centre; NB the English usage differs from that of the French châsse, which denotes large size rather than shape. Relics of the True Cross became very popular from the 9th century onward and were housed in magnificent gold and silver cross-shaped reliquaries decorated with enamels and precious stones. From about the end of the 10th century, reliquaries in the shape of the relics they housed also became popular; hence, for instance, the skull of Pope Alexander I was housed in a head-shaped reliquary. Similarly, the bones of saints were often housed in reliquaries that recalled the shape of the original body part, such as an arm or a foot. A philatory is a transparent reliquary designed to contain and exhibit the bones and relics of saints. This style of reliquary has a viewing portal to view the relic inside. The feretrum was a medieval form of reliquary or shrine containing the sacred effigies and relics of a saint. During the later Middle Ages, the monstrance form, primarily used for consecrated hosts, was sometimes used for reliquaries. These housed the relic in a rock crystal, or glass capsule mounted on a column above a base, enabling the relic to be displayed to the faithful. Reliquaries in the form of large pieces of metalwork jewellery also appeared around this time, housing tiny relics such as pieces of the Holy Thorn, notably the Holy Thorn Reliquary now in the British Museum. Condition: Superb museum quality examples, in excellent original unrestored antique condition with beautifully aged patina. Wear consistent with age and use. Heavily patinated - scattered oxidation. Overall wonderful examples. Typically reliquaries were not sold in pairs, so to find a matching pair such as this is exceptionally rare.
