Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Mary with Lilies Rosary Center is built around a small round medallion of the Virgin. She is shown in profile, veiled, her head bowed within a plain raised rim, while the frame sweeps out on both sides into long stylized petals and whipping stems, a lily blossom opening above her, so that the flowers seem to grow around her rather than merely enclose her.
The lily is Mary's oldest emblem, the flower of purity that Gabriel carries at the Annunciation, and an Art Nouveau designer working around 1900 would have reached for it naturally. The asymmetry, the long tapering lines and the way solid metal turns into open space are the marks of those workshops. The modeling is soft and confident throughout, closer to small sculpture than to anything stamped out, and the piece carries no lettering at all.
The rosary center was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
