Hand-carved from mountain pine in the 1600s, this Alpine tabernacle hails from the Hautes-Alpes department of France.  Most likely from Queyras, which is a valley within the department that contains some of the oldest mountains in the Alps.  The tabernacle has two doors with floret carvings.

CONDITION: Good antique condition, presented dans au jus, with losses and woodworm damage that have necessitated old fills and repairs.  More recent restoration work performed as well.  No key.  Both doors are secure, but shift on the hinges when opening.
