Early 19th Century Rustic-Country Spanish Open Bookcase with Gothic Reliefs

About the Item

Early 19th century Rustic Spanish open bookcase is a relic from the distant past, ready to serve your family for generations yet to come! Hand-hewn from old-growth timbers of solid walnut, it was produced using time-honored techniques of full mortise & tenon joinery that has been shimmed for extra strength and tightness over the centuries. Forged iron hinges support two hand carved cabinet doors below which allow more discreet storage, while three full-width surfaces above allows one to display most anything for all to appreciate. Note the hand-hewn solid planks on the back side which both enclose the casework as well as add even more reinforcement to the design.

Late 19th Century Gothic Revival Reliquary Casket
Located in Dusseldorf, DE
A Gothic Revival reliquary. Circa late 19th / early 20th century. Made of solid oak with fine carving. Reliquaries have been used to store relics since the Middle Ages. In sacred architecture they are often located behind the main altar in the chancel. In addition to classical, often church-like caskets, anthropomorphic, so-called "speaking" reliquaries were also made, which already inform the viewer about their contents through their own design. Mostly they were made of precious metals and decorated with rich sculptural ornaments or precious stones. One of the most famous examples of reliquaries is the Epiphany shrine of Nicholas of Verdun from the late 12th or early 13th century in Cologne Cathedral. The reliquary offered here has an architectural structure with a rectangular ground plan. The three-sided glazed box with a dormer roof rests on a plinth. A total of 8 columns of Corinthian order form the arcades which are crowned on both long sides by 3 lancets each and enclose the lancet windows...
