Tabernacle Cupboard, 19th Century

Raised on a pedestal, this cupboard can also be called a cabinet. Made of beech and oak, it is richly carved with scenes from the New Testament, scenes from daily life and an Adoration of the Virgin on the right side. A classic representation appreciated by patrons since the Middle Ages, this type of staging makes it possible to represent the patron of a work in adoration before the Virgin and the child Jesus, thus lastingly marking the fervor of his piety.

On each corner upright, cherubs bear letters. We can thus read FGILL in the left upright (perhaps the initial of the first name and the name of the patron F. GILL) and AMS in the right upright (Ave Maria Sancta?).
