Antique Altar Set – Miniature Gilded Plaster Altar And Accessories – Circa 1900, Dinette

Antique Mass set, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century.

This set consists of a miniature gilded plaster altar, decorated with moldings, volutes, and religious motifs, featuring a central tabernacle topped by a silver-plated crucifix.

The altar is accompanied by numerous miniature liturgical accessories: candlesticks, a chalice, a ciborium, cruets, two small porcelain vases filled with antique flowers, and a statuette of the Virgin Mary in white bisque.

The set also includes a polychrome plaster figure depicting a priest celebrating Mass, dressed in a black cassock, a white surplice, and a red stole, holding a chalice.

An altar cloth decorated with religious motifs completes the set.
