Description from the seller
Our Lady of Lourdes – metal souvenir sculpture with lighting and music – France – first half of the 20th century
Professionally shipped – more than 1,000 five-star reviews worldwide.
A remarkable Lourdes souvenir depicting Our Lady of Lourdes, surrounded by three illuminated flowers with metal petals and leaves.
Mary stands at the center, with her hands folded and a rosary. Around her head is a halo bearing the inscription ‘Je suis l'Immaculée Conception’, referring to the apparitions of Mary to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.
The richly detailed base depicts various pilgrimage sites in Lourdes, with the inscriptions ‘L'Apparition’, ‘La Basilique’, ‘La Grotte’ and ‘Lourdes’. The kneeling Bernadette is also depicted.
The sculpture is fitted with three flower-shaped electric bulbs and a built-in musical mechanism that plays the Marian hymn ‘On the Mountains at Lourdes’. The musical mechanism works.
Height: 25 cm.
Signs of age and localized wear to the finish, consistent with its age. The lighting can be seen working in the photos. The original two-pin plug shows signs of age; the electrical installation has not been safety tested.
The photos form an integral part of the description. Shipped with track and trace.
