A captivating little vintage Italian Florentine devotional diptych in the form of a miniature book — two hinged wooden panels covered in ornate embossed gold leaf borders, each pan el bearing a richly coloured religious icon reproduction: a haloed Virgin in pink and green robes on the left, and a crowned saint in deep crimson and black on the right. Tiny enough to sit in the palm of your hand — as the domino beside it shows — yet with the presence of something much larger. Stand it open on a mantle, a bedside table, or a devotional corner, or prop it among books on a shelf where its gold panels catch the light. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensions: 2"W x 2.75"H x 0.5"D Show more
