Gothic Style Triptych - Silverplated

Refined and impressive travel/oratory religious triptych that opens like a book, of fine Italian artisanal craftsmanship from the second half of the 20th century (vintage). The supporting structure is made of dark solid wood and consists of three hinged panels housing three sterling silver plates finely worked in relief, with faces and hands finished in color with careful painting technique. The work is set on the classic Byzantine and Orthodox Deesis (Intercession) model: • Central Panel: Depiction of the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus (inspired by the classic iconography of the Mother of God). • Side Panels (Wings of the Triptych): Two important intercessor saints and Fathers of the Eastern Church in liturgical robes, captured in the act of holding sacred scrolls and Eastern liturgical texts. The lower edges of the plates bear clearly visible legal art marks certifying authenticity and prestigious Tuscan provenance, specifically from the historic Florentine silversmith Giancarlo Livi (Paterna & Livi). Silver-Plated, details of the Marks and Punches: • ☆ 336 FI: Official punch of the metrological office identifying the art goldsmithing manufacture of Giancarlo Livi (Florence). • 925: Sterling Silver of first quality (purity 92.5%). • [R] in a square: Mandatory punch for artifacts "filled" (indicates the silver plate applied with internal support). • 3+5g: Legal stamping of the weight of the silver plate applied to each section. Dimensions: • Height: 28 cm • Width (total at full opening): 46 cm Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The wood is solid and the hinges are perfectly functioning, allowing the object to close like a book. The patina of the silver is splendid and preserves all the details of the chasing and the painted parts. Accurate packaging guaranteed and shipping throughout Europe
