Description from the seller
Art Nouveau silver religious plaque – Virgin Mary – Étienne-Victor Exbrayat (1879-1914)
Beautiful silver religious plaque, signed E. EXBRAYAT, by the French sculptor and medalist Étienne-Victor Exbrayat (1879-1914), of whom several works are kept at the Petit Palais in Paris.
In bas-relief, it depicts the crowned Virgin Mary with her hands crossed over her chest, in an elegant composition with floral motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau.
The Latin inscription « VIRGO VIRGINUM » (Virgin of Virgins) appears in the lower part.
Era: early 20th century, circa 1900-1914.
Material: silver positively tested, fineness not determined.
Excellent condition, old patina. The reverse shows its former filling material.
A refined piece of Art Nouveau sacred metalwork, signed by a well-known French artist, particularly interesting for collectors of sacred art and antique medals.
The photos are an integral part of the object's description and enhance its 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.
