Plate 166: A Glimpse into the Ornate and Decorative Church Furniture of the Victorian Era (circa 1880s) Step into the hallowed halls of a Victorian-era church or cathedral and be captivated by the beauty and grandeur of its furnishings, as depicted in this exquisite photograph, Plate 166, from Mary Evans Prints Online. The intricately patterned and ornate design elements of this collection of church furniture transport us back in time, providing a glimpse into the religious and historical significance of these items. The plate showcases a range of decorative pieces, including candle holders and candlesticks, which once illuminated the interiors of churches and cathedrals, creating an atmosphere of reverence and contemplation. The polished brass and metal candlesticks, adorned with intricate designs, are reminiscent of the Gothic and Victorian styles that dominated the architecture and decor of religious institutions during this period. Among the other items featured in Plate 166 are lecterns and boxes, which served as essential tools for the clergy during religious services. The ornate lecterns, often adorned with intricate carvings and eagle motifs, were used to hold the Bible and other religious texts, while the boxes, ornamented with intricate patterns and designs, were used to store various religious items. Additionally, the plate includes vases and monstrances, which were used to display flowers and the Eucharist, respectively. The incense boat and containers, which are also featured, were used to create a fragrant and symbolic atmosphere during religious ceremonies. This photograph provides a unique and fascinating look into the history and design of church furniture from the Victorian era. The intricate patterns, sizes, and styles showcased in Plate 166 serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of these items, which continue to be used and cherished in religious institutions around the world.
