Antique Icon like Gilt Bronze Mary and Child Jesus Plaque over a Holy Water Font

About the Item

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 and child Jesus sculptures really are what takes this piece to the next level. In this sculpture it is almost as if Mary is presenting Jesus to the world and He at this young age is already giving the sign of victory. The globe He is holding refers to God being the creator of all and the cross already tells about how His (physical) life on earth will end. Have you also noticed the six angels in the back? To us, this piece radiates love and positivity and god knows our world can do with a lot more of both. If you like this rare and excellent condition, work of religious art as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taking into account that perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 12.1 x 7.2 x 3 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

    Unique antique bronze wall plaque by Belgian sculptor Sylvain Norga. This Gothic Revival work of religious art dates from the Art Deco era and it is a little bit of a rare specimen. For some reason, Sylvain Norga almost always created bronze wall plaques of Christ. In some cases he created bronze plaques with both Jesus and Mary in them, but the ones with only Mary are very hard to find. We find it extra special that this stunning and practical size Mother Mary sculpture...
