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:
