Rosary - .800 silver - 1850-1900 - Filigrane - Valence

Description of the lot: Magnificent and rare chapelet from the late 19th – early 20th century (circa 1900), entirely made in solid silver filigree. This devotional object comes from the Valencia region (Spain), a hub of traditional Mediterranean metalwork (Indumentaria Valenciana). It stands out for the remarkable finesse of its filigree work, where each bead is shaped like a cage of fine twisted and hand-soldered silver strands. The heart (central medal) in shield shape is topped by a three-dimensional imperial crown finely worked, a motif traditionally paying homage to the Virgen de los Desamparados. The cross of intricate design accommodates a Christ in relief cast and mounted, with a back adorned by a smooth medallion. Technical characteristics: • Material: Solid silver (acid-tested positive, brown reaction characteristic of 800 silver). • Era: Circa 1880 - 1910 (Art Nouveau / Regionalist style). • Origin: Llíria / Province of Valencia, Spain. • Total weight: 17.7 grams. • Total length: Approximately 41 cm (opened/extended). • Condition: Excellent overall preservation. No visible loss in the filigree, nice patina of the period. No visible hallmarks (common for filigree this fine to avoid deforming the structure). Perfect for collectors of sacred art, Spanish goldsmithing, or regional antique jewelry.
