altar chests (case furniture, <storage and display furniture>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |

Note: Distinctive chests, often portable, designed for the altar to be collapsible or otherwise fit into a chest, along with the other essential items required for the liturgy. The term may also apply to chests associated with a separate altar, whether or not they are portable or were intended to be hidden. Well-known examples of collapsible portable altar chests, intended to be hidden, were those used in northern Europe in the 17th-18th centuries, during times of prohibition of the celebration of Catholic Mass.

| Dutch ..... Draagbaar altaar met altaarsteen, uitgevoerd als een uitklapbare kist. In de kist zat een volledige uitrusting voor de eucharistieviering. Dit 'onzichtbare' altaar werd gebruikt in tijden van verbod op de viering van de katholieke eredienst in de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw, de schuilkerkperiode. |
