Description from the seller

Holy-water font carved in Italian marble, datable to about 1870.

Made from a single block of stone with a lobed shape and petal profile, it displays a beautiful warm patina due to time and liturgical use. The inner basin, smoothed by blessed water, contrasts with the rougher, more natural exterior. An object of sober elegance, an authentic expression of nineteenth-century popular devotion. Perfect as a collectible item, decorative element, or sacred and sculptural centerpiece. Origin: Italy.

Good overall condition with slight signs consistent with age.

Seller's Story

I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was. When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business. The key principles are quality and love towards the customer. Francesco Secondo
