An authentic 18th-century antique pewter (tin) reliquary (reliquarium/ostensorium) designed in classic Southern Netherlands (Flemish) or French Baroque style. The openwork body features a central circular window intended to house a holy relic or devotional image. The capsule is flanked by two beautifully detailed flying cherubs (putti) amidst floral garlands, supported by a classic fluted stem and a domed base with fine repoussé ribbed borders. The entire composition is magnificently surmounted by a royal crown and a large latin cross at the top. The central compartment currently retains a circular element (likely aged paper, vellum, or textile backing), which shows significant authentic age-related patina. The back features its original metal retaining clip holding the capsule securely in place. • Material: Pewter / Tin (Étain) • Period: 18th Century (circa 1750–1780) • Region: Flanders / France • Condition: In good antique condition with a beautiful, dark-gray unpolished patina and normal signs of wear consistent with its age.
