This ancient carved wooden altar base represents a fascinating element of sacred art from the Baroque period. The structure, designed to support sculptures or liturgical furnishings, is distinguished by the presence of traditional iconographic motifs linked to devotion and historical memory.
The perimeter band is decorated with a refined faux marble lacquer in shades of red and gold. At the front corners stand out figures carved in relief depicting the souls in purgatory engulfed in flames. The original patina and the natural signs of time testify to the historicity of the object, preserving its authenticity and collectible charm.
This piece of antiques offers a unique opportunity to enrich a collection of sacred art or to embellish classical and eclectic environments with a scenographic detail.
