Beautiful TABERNACLE/AUMBRY/AMBRY – carved wood showing Gothic influence in the design. From old church in San Bernardino, CA. Age unknown, but estimated at ” turn of century”, Circa LATE 1800’s/ EARLY 1900’s. Hangs on wall to allow for bottom carvings. CARVING/STYLING- Shows definite Gothic Influence and also similar to other pieces from the Victorian period. AUMBRY/AMBRY A couple of viewers have decided this is an AUMBRY/AMBRY used to store Holy Oils. Many of these are traditionally made to HANG ON THE WALL, often near the Baptismal Font. All I can say is that it came from a church where it was used to store the Blessed Sacrament for many years. It could possibly have been used for oils at another time. It is estimated to be over 100 years old. I cannot authenticate age or former use beyond what I know for sure. WOOD- This appears to be OAK? EXTERNAL MEASUREMENTS: The measurements of the exterior are 13 at the widest point. The height of the carvings are 28 from top to bottom which is the middle and highest measurement… When hanging on the wall. It has always been hung on a wall slightly above the altar. INTERNAL MEASUREMENTS: The inside measures 17.5 in center.. Slopes down on sides. It measures about 11 side to side. It should fit a sizable chalice. DOOR IS OPEN/ UNLOCKED.
