Reliquary - Alloy - 1850-1900 - Holy Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Gold filigree pendant reliquary – Holy Cross – 19th century - Italy Beautiful gold filigree pendant reliquary, crafted into a wide radiant composition of vegetal motifs and openwork leaves. Several elements are adorned with faceted red glass stones, set in bezel mounts with a beaded edge, giving a particularly decorative contrast to the filigree. In the center sits a small heart-shaped reliquary, on a red textile background. It houses at its center a relic of the Holy Cross, surrounded by a silvered metallic setting. The reverse retains its red wax seal, held by the locking threads, an important detail indicating that the reliquary compartment was formerly closed and sealed. The mount is equipped with a bail allowing it to be worn as a pendant. A very fine example of popular devotional metalwork, remarkable for the delicacy and abundance of its filigree decoration. Good antique condition. Some small deformations or fragilities of the delicate filigree work are visible and in keeping with its age. Old sealing wax seal preserved on the reverse. The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement the presentation. They allow one to appreciate its condition and characteristics.

Happy bidding In accordance with canonical law (can. 1190 §1), this sale concerns the reliquary only as a sacred art object.
