About the Item

Antique Pair of sterling silver holy water fonts This splendid pair of embossed silver basins from the 19th century are true masterpieces of craftsmanship. Each one with a different figure, in one the representation of God with an angel and in the other a man writing with an eagle. Three seals are engraved on the back of both batteries. The first two, recognizable by the plow and the starry globe, are respectively the seals adopted in Milan and Lombardy-Veneto between 1812 and 1872. This information helps us locate the geographical and temporal origin of these works of art. Finally, the third, less recognizable seal is that of the silversmith who created these magnificent pieces. Measures: Height: 16.5 centimeters Length: 8 centimeters Depth: 4 centimeters
