Icon - Mother of God - Silver

Elegant Italian portable icon depicting the Madonna with Child, crafted as a hand-painted miniature on a rigid support. The sacred scene features a refined gold-red background and halos finely outlined with the inscription “Ave Maria”.

The miniature is set in a silver frame crafted with openwork, featuring rich, floral-patterned filigree decoration. The meticulous metalwork attests to early twentieth-century Italian craftsmanship.
Natural coral cabochons are present at the corners, further enhancing the piece and making it more sought-after.

The back features the original silver pedestal, foldable and perfectly functional, which allows displaying the icon as a small tabletop picture.

A highly valuable devotional object, ideal for collectors of Italian icons, religious miniatures, and decorated silverware.

Good condition. The miniature retains its original polychromy; the frame shows a beautiful silver patina and natural signs of age.
