Framed Collection of Papal Crests

About the Item

A remarkable, one-of-a-kind, hand-carved, gessoed, 22k gold gilded, hand-painted, foliate embellished serpentine, crest-form, 19th century, convex Italian frame inset with ink-on-vellum images of 24 papal crests. The full set wasn't completed by the previous owner, but is a reflection of a true labor of love or perhaps a genealogical study.

  • Large Hand Carved Antique Sculpture of Apparition of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary
    Located in Lisse, NL
    One of a kind, large and marvelous work of religious art. With thanks to one of our honorable Frater clients we have learned that this unique and marvelously hand carved wall sculpture is a carving depicting the famous apparition of Jesus to the 17th century French Visitation nun, Saint Margaret Mary Alocoque. This probably is the scene in which He asks her to establish devotion to His Sacred Heart. We have never seen a sculpture of this subject matter and for us to have found one of this large size and of such quality more than made our day. Hand carved out of solid oak, both the details and the depth of this antique wall sculpture...
