Triptych Made Of Carved Wood And Gilded With Pure Gold – Louis XVI Style

Carved and 24-karat gold-gilded wood triptych – Louis XVI style – Early 19th century
An elegant triptych of letter holders dating from the early 19th century, crafted from finely carved wood and gilded with pure gold, in the refined style of Louis XVI.
The triptych consists of a larger central document holder and two smaller side panels, perfectly coordinated in design and decoration.
The frames feature refined ornamentation with plant motifs, carved volutes, and scrolls, along with elegant openwork cymatia and feet shaped like acanthus leaves. The harmonious and well-proportioned composition evokes the neoclassical decorative repertoire of the 18th century.
The pure gold gilding is particularly pleasing; it retains a beautiful antique patina and lends the entire piece a refined and elegant character.
The prayer books contain traditional liturgical prayers, accompanied by small colored sacred illustrations and elaborate ornamental borders.
An interesting set of sacred furnishings, a testament to the refined craftsmanship of the early decades of the 19th century, ideal both for a collection of religious objects and as a decorative element.
