Hand-carved in Italy in the 1700s, this giltwood niche has been mounted to a painted black stand.  The small altar piece is quite unique, with the teal painted interior that is flanked by architecture consisting of pilasters and foliate volutes.  Other motifs include a crest of a bird emerging from a sunburst concealed by a cloud, and foliate stalks intertwined with a floral swag.

CONDITION: Good antique condition.  Minor losses to gilding, revealing traces of red bole, which is a desired appearance.  Fleabites and light rubs.  The painted wooden stand was added more recently.
