Pair Of Louis XVI-style Cartoglories In Carved And Gilded Wood - 18th Century
Pair of Louis XVI-style carved and gilded wooden altar tables - 18th CENTURY
A refined pair of liturgical altar tables crafted from solid wood, carved and gilded, featuring a contoured profile in the Baroque style and rich decorative ornamentation.
The composition features a leaf-motif cornice, embellished with volutes and plant motifs, while the side panels are adorned with elegant ornamental Greek frets, which lend rhythm and definition to the structure.
The decoration is completed by beading, geometric elements, and sinuous volutes, harmoniously distributed around the central panels.
The gilding, with its warm, antique tones, enhances the relief of the carving and highlights the quality of the craftsmanship.
The center contains the liturgical texts in Latin: one cartagloria features the Prologue to the Gospel according to John, while the other contains the formulas pertaining to the priest and the rite of the washing of the hands.
Of particular interest to collectors of sacred art and ecclesiastical antiques, this pair stands out for the richness of its ornamental repertoire and the evocative patina of its gilding.
