Gold and Silver in Perfect Harmony: A Tabernacle of Enduring Liturgical Beauty
The 24K Gold-Plated Tabernacle with Oxidized Silver Rays, IHS Medallion, and Ruby Stones by Koley's Inc. offers a striking reversal of the classic silver-and-gold sunburst design. Here, the body is finished in warm 24K gold plate with a serrated border trim and a textured octagonal base, while the sunburst rays radiating from the door are rendered in oxidized silver with raised wheat-sheaf panels. At the center, a gold IHS medallion is encircled by a gold decorative ring set with four red ruby stones, creating a door of exceptional visual richness. The interior is finished in 24K bright gold plate with a highly reflective mirror-like surface.
Sharing the same cathedral-scale dimensions as the K-657 (15-1/4"H x 12"W x 12-1/4"D, 57 lbs.), the K-659 is designed for principal altars in large parishes, cathedrals, and basilicas where a gold-dominant tabernacle with silver accent rays is the preferred aesthetic. Made to order by Koley's Inc., it is a lasting investment in the beauty and dignity of a sanctuary.
