This oak nave divider is a rare vestige of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, embodying the history and religious heritage of the building. Made at the end of the 19th century, this furniture reflects the Gothic aesthetic and spirituality specific to the cathedral. It was designed during the restoration period led by the architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, known for his work in preserving medieval art.
After the tragic fire of 2019, this element was removed as part of the restoration work on Notre-Dame. It is one of the few original pieces that survived the event and bears witness to the past grandeur of the cathedral before its renovation. This divider was acquired from a person who participated in the conservation of the pieces removed from the cathedral.
This piece of furniture, seen by millions of faithful who have visited the cathedral, is a direct witness to the spiritual history of this sacred place. It appears in many photos and videos of the interior of Notre-Dame de Paris, immortalizing its role in the development of the cathedral.
We have completely cleaned and waxed this piece of furniture, which still bears some scars from the violence of the fire at Notre-Dame de Paris, making this piece even more historically charged.
Dimensions:
Width: 75 cm (29.5 in)
Height: 149 cm (58.7 in)
Depth: 77 cm (30.3 in)
This exceptional piece is a unique opportunity to own a fragment of the history of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, a treasure for lovers of religious architecture and heritage.
