Description from the seller
Virgin and Child with Apple – Polychrome enamel and chased and pierced silver 915 – Spain 19th century
Spanish devotional plaque representing the Virgin and Child, crafted in polychrome enamel and set in a substantial repoussé and chased silver mount, richly adorned with scrolls and vegetal motifs.
The Virgin, aureoled on a deep red background, holds the Infant Jesus presenting an apple, a symbolically significant element in Christian iconography: Christ, the New Adam, comes to redeem original sin.
The enameled plaque is held by a serrated silver border. The mount, with a dynamic form, features intricate decoration and a stamped geometric border.
Two marks are clearly visible:
* five-point star: Spanish guarantee mark associated with silverware;
* maker’s mark in a polylobed cartouche, the letters of which seem to read “MG” or “M.G.”
The piece is silver at 915/1000 fineness, a standard fineness commonly found in 19th-century Spanish silversmithing.
Very good overall condition
