An exceptional pair of 19th century French giltwood monstrances / reliquaries, finely carved and richly gilded. Each piece is elaborately decorated with intertwined cattails and oak branches, symbols of strength and faith, framing a central circular reliquary window with gilt ecclesiastical motifs.
The intricate openwork design rises to a cross at the crest, supported by a lattice of foliage and grape clusters, and rests on a stylized base with paw feet. The craftsmanship reflects the Baroque and Rococo traditions of French ecclesiastical art, combining devotional symbolism with dramatic decorative presence.
These large-scale examples are rare to find as a matched pair, making them an impressive addition for collectors of sacred art, or a striking design statement in an interior.
