Rare and good condition, Gothic-art shrine for standing or wall-hanging. This handsome and decorative, Gothic wall shrine is completely hand-crafted out of solid oak and it will look awesome, no matter where you decide to mount or place her. It must have taken its creator quite a few days to first draw this intricate design on paper and then hand carve the entire piece out of solid oak. The Gothic Style elements are deeply handcarved in both doors and they make this shrine highly decorative and an absolute joy to own and look at. This cabinet chapel (or chapel cabinet) comes with its brass lock in perfect working order and also with its original gothic style key. The handgrip is in fact a Gothic trefoil symbol (for the trinity). What also makes this piece extra attractive is the Gothic church window-like frame behind the doors. It is among the finest we have seen to date and on top of that this antique also has a beautiful and rich patina. By the way, the bronze Mary statuette is not included in our price. Finally, thanks to the hook in the back, mounting this antique chapel...

French Polychrome Terracotta Church Console, France, circa 1850. Salvaged from a historic chapel prior to its demolition, this exceptional architectural element is crafted from high-quality terracotta rather than plaster, making it a rare and highly durable example of 19th-century French ecclesiastical craftsmanship. Richly hand-painted in its original polychrome finish, the console features a medieval-inspired niche that recalls the artistic traditions of the pre-Renaissance period, bringing remarkable depth, color, and historical character to the piece. Originally created as a devotional wall console for displaying a religious sculpture or sacred object, this architectural fragment now offers outstanding decorative potential in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Whether installed in an entryway, library, living room, or curated collection of architectural antiques, it creates a striking focal point while preserving the authentic spirit of its original setting. The console remains in good original condition, with its vibrant historic paint largely intact. Minor losses and signs of age are consistent with its history and have been intentionally preserved rather than restored, allowing the piece to retain its genuine patina and undeniable authenticity. A specialized wall-mounting system may be required to ensure secure installation. Architectural fragments of this quality are increasingly sought after by collectors, interior designers, and enthusiasts of French Gothic Revival, religious art, and European architectural antiques...
