"Large Louis XVI Style Reliquary Box With Cherubs In Gilded Lacquered Wood. Pair Available."
Large reliquary box in mauve-gray and gold lacquered wood. This is a piece of unusual dimensions.
On a rectangular base, the sarcophagus-shaped box is decorated with cherub heads at the corners, and acanthus and laurel leaves around the glass bezel.
A lid with a handle allows access to the interior.
The relics are no longer there.
Fairly good condition, some losses and chips. Sold in its found condition.
We have a second identical box to make a pair, see photos. The price is for one box.
These objects come from an inheritance; they must most likely have adorned a private chapel.
19th century period.
Delivery 50 euros in France, 100 euros in the EU and 300 euros to the rest of the world.
