045 - Gothic niche

Scroll saw fretwork model of a Gothic wall niche designed to hold a religious statue

This is an intricate wall niche designed to hold a religious statue, ideally of the Virgin Mary. The niche is beautifully adorned in Gothic style. The doors feature a simple wooden opening mechanism that functions effectively, though it can be replaced with hinges if preferred. The pattern is based on a 19th-century Italian design, which I have meticulously reconstructed using modern computer techniques.

The niche is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood or with 6 and 3 mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will. The following table gives the dimensions of the niche depending on the wood thickness you use:

Height Width Depth
1/4 and 1/8 in. wood 24,7 in. 8 in. 5,4 in.
6 and 3 mm wood 59.3 cm 19.2 cm 13 cm
3/8 and 3/16 in. wood 37 in. 12 in. 8,1 in.
8 and 4 mm wood 79 cm 25.6 cm 17.3 cm

Please note that this pattern is registered and copyrighted. If you would like to have it I offer it for 11 € plus shipping. The pattern is computer made, which provides total precision, and nicely printed for convenient scrolling. Please write me to [email protected] to buy this pattern or for any questions.
