Filigree reliquary – Holy Crown of Thorns – 19th century – Italy Elegant reliquary of devotion in silver filigree, featuring a remarkable radiating mount entirely made of delicate metal threads worked into spirals and curls. At the center, under glass, a decoration of paper cut-outs (paperolles) and gilded and polychrome papers surrounds a small relic held at the heart of a floral composition. The handwritten inscription “S. Spina D.N.J.C.”, an abbreviation of Sancta Spina Domini Nostri Jesu Christi, i.e. Holy Crown of Thorns of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The back retains its red-brown wax seal, pierced by the sealing red threads. This ensemble constitutes an interesting element attesting that the reliquary compartment was closed and sealed.

Condition: good antique condition, with patina, small irregularities and signs of use consistent with age. Ancient sealing present on the back. The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
