Description from the seller
Pair of Greek Byzantine Style Icons - 950 Silver & Aged Wood Replicas
A curated set of two Greek icons, representing fine examples of religious craftsmanship and Byzantine-style artistry. This lot includes two distinct pieces, each utilizing different traditional techniques to recreate the atmosphere of ancient sacred art. Handcrafted in Greece.
-Icon of the Virgin Mary "Glykophilousa" (The Sweet-Kissing)
An evocative "Glykophilousa" depiction, showing the tender embrace between the Mother of God and the Christ Child. High-quality serigraphy (silk-screen) on a specially prepared distressed wood surface.
The piece features a professional craquelure finish to simulate the natural aging of centuries-old icons. The wood block is hand-carved at the edges to give it an organic, "hewn" appearance. Dimensions: 15.5 x 12.2 x 2.8 cm.
Excellent condition, designed with a "vintage" aesthetic.
-Icon of St. Dionysios of Zakynthos (Silver 950)
St. Dionysios, the patron saint of Zakynthos island and Archbishop of Aegina (Attica), depicted in traditional hagiographic style holding the Gospel. High-grade 950 Sterling Silver foil. The silver frame features intricate repoussé floral motifs. Mounted on a dark-stained solid wood plaque. Includes the original "Certificate of Authenticity" on the reverse, confirming the silver purity and the Byzantine replica status. Dimensions: 10 X 9 X 2 cm.
Very good condition, with well-preserved silver luster.
The items will be carefully packed to ensure safe delivery and shipped with a tracking number.
