Product description
👑 Large 19th century Religious Crown in Gilded Brass and Colored Glass Cabochons - Ornament of Virgin or Sacred Statue 👑
Immerse yourself in the majestic atmosphere of Baroque altars and processions of yesteryear with this exceptional 19th-century religious crown. Entirely fashioned in chased gilded brass, champlevé by hand, this rare piece seduces with its radiant floral motifs and colored glass cabochons in precious tones (ruby red, emerald green, amber yellow, crystal white).
Designed to adorn a statue of the Virgin Mary in a church, this crown is typical of the popular sacred art of Southern Europe: one imagines it surmounting a Madonna dressed in rich brocade, in the subdued light of a chapel or oratory. This crown was probably diverted from its original use as a sacred decoration, to be used as a theatrical prop, or during processions, by having real people wear it, personifying characters from biblical stories in the 19th century.
