A RARE MONUMENTAL HAND CARVED WOOD SILVER GILT CLOUD FRAME. ITALIAN ORIGIN. 19TH CENTURY. THE FRAME WAS ONCE A FACADE WITH A DOOR. I BOUGHT IT WITHOUT THE DOOR OR SHOULD I SAY THE DOOR WAS MISSING. I\'M NOT SURE OF WHAT ITS USE WAS. POSSIBLY THE FRONT OF A CONFESSIONAL OR LARGE TABERNACLE? I\'M LEANING MORE TO A CONFESSIONAL BECAUSE THE LATCH HAD TO BE OPENED FROM THE BACKSIDE.
I RECENTLY HAD IT MIRRORED. IT MEASURES 55 INCHES TALL AND 43 INCHES WIDE. IT WEIGHS 52 POUNDS.
YOU CAN SEE FROM THE BACK THAT IT HAD TWO HINGES AND A LATCH.
*IN CHRISTIAN ART THE ASCENSION IS AN OLD THEME, APPEARING SINCE THE 5TH CENTURY . THE EARLIEST VERSION OF THE ASCENSION, WHICH PERSISTED IN THE WEST UNTIL THE 11TH CENTURY, SHOWS CHRIST FROM THE SIDE, CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AND GRASPING THE THE HAND OF GOD, WHICH EMERGES FROM A CLOUD ABOVE TO PULL HIM INTO HEAVEN. THE APOSTLES , ASSEMBLED BELOW WATCH THE EVENT.
