Italian Giltwood Triptych – Madonna & Child, Gothic Revival

Mid-20th-century Italian giltwood triptych featuring a lithograph depiction of the Madonna and Child at center, flanked by hinged side panels each portraying a saint in Gothic-style arches. The pointed-arch form is richly ornamented with carved and gilded relief patterns and mounted on an integral plinth base. Crafted from wood and marked “MADE IN ITALY” verso, this devotional piece may be free-standing or wall-mounted via its hanging ring. The design recalls Renaissance domestic altarpieces and reflects the enduring Italian “Florentine” giltwood tradition, admired for its spiritual warmth and sculptural detailing.

A fine example of postwar Italian devotional craftsmanship, combining printed imagery with gilt carved woodwork—ideal for collectors of religious art or vintage Italian décor.
