Description from the seller

Important gilded bronze votive crown, 19th century - Europe

Large procession or statue crown, in finely chiseled and gilded bronze, richly adorned with colored stones and cut crystals, high-quality workmanship, probably from Central Europe or the south (Italy / Austria).

The structure consists of eight open arches, decorated with relief foliate scrolls, gathered at a terminal globe surmounted by a trilobed cross set with a blue cabochon. The decoration is particularly careful, alternating emerald green, ruby red, and pink stones, accompanied by small faceted white crystals evoking old-cut diamonds (glass paste or crystal, not tested).

The lower band is also openwork, adorned with floral motifs and set with polychrome stones, giving the whole piece a strong liturgical and ceremonial character. The old gilding is homogeneous, with a beautiful patina.

Religious metalwork of high quality, intended for a crowned Virgin or saint statue, or for processional use.

Dimensions: Height: 28 cm x Inner diameter (head circumference): 11.5 cm Condition:

Very good overall condition. Some micro-scratches normal to the gilding, slight irregularities in setting visible under magnification, no major losses. Stable structure.

The photos are an integral part of the description of the objects and complement their presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.

The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery.

Happy bidding
