Description from the seller
Filigree reliquary – Holy Crown of Thorns – 19th century – Italy
Elegant reliquary of devotion in silver filigree, featuring a remarkable radiating mount entirely formed by delicate metal threads worked into scrolls and curls.
At the center, under glass, a decoration of paper-cut elements and gold and polychrome papers surrounds a small relic held at the heart of a floral composition.
The handwritten inscription “S. Spina D.N.J.C.”, abbreviation of Sancta Spina Domini Nostri Jesu Christi, i.e. Holy Crown of Thorns of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
The back preserves its red-brown wax seal, crossed by the sealing threads. This ensemble constitutes an interesting piece confirming that the reliquary compartment was closed and sealed. An old inventory number is also visible on the reverse.
Very fine filigree work, particularly airy, giving the reliquary the appearance of a large rose window.
Condition: good antique condition, with patina, small irregularities, and signs of use consistent with age. Ancient sealing on the reverse.
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
The item will be carefully wrapped and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
