Jugendstil WMF Marked and Silvered Holy Water Font Depicting Mary & Child Jesus

About the Item

Antique silvered wall font with original and excellent condition glass vessel. This rare Jugendstil wall font by German makers WMF is in excellent condition and it even comes with the original glass vessel. To make the marvelous image of Mary and the young Christ (holding the orb) stand out even more, we have slightly polished the back plate. Just like the other Christan symbols in this wonderful water font, the image of Mary and her child too are embossed. The beautifully flowing lines that make up the frame in which they are portrait also are an absolute joy to look at and they too will never fail to impress. The cranberry-like vessel has absolutely no chips or cracks, but only some superficial scratches and some lime staining from the water that was kept inside. If you are looking for a rare, beautiful and meaningful gift for yourself or a loved one then this rare WMF work of religious art could be perfect. Mind you, our fair price for this fine antique even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door within 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 10.4 x 5.9 x 1.9 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • Antique Icon like Gilt Bronze Mary and Child Jesus Plaque over a Holy Water Font
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Meaningful and perfectly hand-crafted antique church relic. This religious work of art dates from the earliest years of the 20th century and you could not wish for a better condition antique. This finest of holy water font plaques could not be in better condition, but that is also because it was all handcrafted out of the best materials only. Even the hand sawn, square nuts on the back are gilt. And the cross-like hook with the French Gothic fleur-de-lis ends with the ring on top (for easy mounting this gem to your wall) is another detail that shows us that no expense was spared when this antique was hand-crafted all those years ago. Whenever we find religious antiques of this quality and excellent condition, they usually were made for and used in either a church or a monastery (also, because that is where the budget was for the best quality pieces). The quality and the finish of this church relic really is among the best we have ever seen, but the quality of and the details in the sereen Mother Mary...

  • Art Deco Crucifix Depicting a Crowned Bronze Jesus On A Coromandel Wooden Cross

    Stylish and meaningful work of art. This Christian work of art dates from the 1920s. Over the centuries wall crucifixes have been made in all kinds of sizes and shapes, but the ones from the Art Deco Era seem to be the most distinctive in style. This 1920s wall crucifix is small in size, but the straight lined, geometrical cross, the stylised Gothic halo and the relatively straight lined body of Christ tell us that it was clearly from the European Art Deco era. In this case Belgian (it is marked Bruxelles just below the feet). Some Art Deco crucifixes...
