Fragments of Faith and Memory: An Antique Collection of Sacred Objects, Holy Cards, and Relics

A journey through time across popular devotion and spiritual memory. I offer a precious and rich collection consisting of over 300 era-worthy sacred testimonies, mutable witnesses of prayers, memories of pilgrimage, and small treasures of faith kept throughout the twentieth century.

Testimonies from the Holy Places: Fragments of nature and symbolic elements linked to historic pilgrimage sites (including memories with elements of Gethsemane and extracts from the Rosary Garden of Assisi), designed to preserve the bond with the Holy Land and the Franciscan shrines.

A mosaic of Sacred Images: holy cards and devotional miniatures from various eras and styles. From the delicate chromolithography details of the early 1900s to the worked and carved edges, up to the more austere engravings in black-and-white and sepia.

Pages of Devotion: Small prayer booklets, printed ejaculations, First Communion keepsakes, and publications preserved over the years, which tell the intimate history and spirituality of other eras.

A unique opportunity for collectors, to enrich a thematic collection or for those who wish to rediscover lesser sacred art in all its intimate poetry.
