Florentine Giltwood Triptych
Details
A striking antique Florentine giltwood triptych, richly decorated with traditional gold leaf, hand-painted red detailing, and delicate pale blue accents. The central panel features a devotional image of the Madonna and Child, rendered in a classical Renaissance-inspired style and framed beneath an arched Gothic form.
The hinged side panels open and close, each adorned with incised floral and cross motifs, allowing the piece to function both as a devotional altar and as a sculptural decorative object. The surface shows authentic age wear, including rubbed gilding, small paint losses, and patina consistent with early hand-crafted Florentine work—details that enhance its character and historic charm.
This piece makes a beautiful statement on a shelf, mantel, or within a curated devotional or European antique display.
