Description from the seller
Splendid and expansive collection lot gathered with sacred art and devotional objects, ideal for collectors, genre enthusiasts, or vintage markets. The items range from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, all in excellent conservational condition or with the charm of their original patina.
The lot comprises a total of over 100 pieces distributed as follows:
- WALL CRUCIFIXES: one in worked wood and metal (Baroque style, early 1900s) with a cartouche INRI and a skull symbol (Golgotha) at the base. The second crucifix in bronze/brass alloy (popular/folk style, 18th-19th century) with a fluttering parchment scroll and the original patina of the time.
- NECKLACE ROSARIES: a vintage rosary with Aurora Borealis faceted glass beads showing iridescent reflections and a gilded metal chain. A contemporary rosary with a minimalist monochrome design, with white and translucent beads and cross.
- GOLD-PLATED COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo, with the saint’s portrait finely worked in relief.
- SERIES OF VINTAGE POSTCARDS dedicated to the Shrine of Lourdes, depicting the basilicas, the historic night torchlight processions, and the Grotto of Massabielle.
- WIDE COLLECTION OF HOLY CARDS AND SACRED IMAGERY: from the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th, including rare mourning keepsakes (R.I.P.), lithographs of the Mater Dolorosa and historical religious attestations (e.g., Easter Communion). Dozens of modern and vintage holy cards with iconographies of the Sacred Heart, Rosa Mystica, Saint Jerome Emiliani, and Blessed Luigi Tezza.
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
