Antique Sacred Heart Meerschaum Reliquary

(SOLD)




Here's one of the most beautiful and rare carved religious French meerschaum reliquaries I've seen in a long time and now listed at Metal Corset II.

This carved meerschaum reliquary highlights a veiled Mary kneeling in prayer holding a Flaming Heart wrapped in a crown of roses.

It is very rare to find a Flaming Heart held in the hand versus a Flaming Heart on the chest.

Absolutely exquisite period piece behind convex glass. The brass frame is engraved in a paisley floral scroll design and is further accentuated by twisted brass.

Le Sacre Coeur de Marie (SOLD)




My most recent creation, Le Sacre Coeur de Marie.

From an antique lace holy card, an assemblage of the Sacred Heart of Mary is captured inside an antique two sided Victorian sterling silver paste locket. The reverse has an image of The Sacred Heart of Mary wrapped in a crown of roses.

The locket suspends from an antique Victorian sterling silver bangle. The bracelet is further embellished with an antique Miraculous Mary medal and flaming heart ex voto.
