Small antique domestic icon depicting Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, a major figure in French spirituality, intimately linked to Paray-le-Monial and the spread of the devotion to the Sacred Heart in the 19th century. The object consists of a solid wood stand, cut in an arch, and a brass relief medal, accompanied by its original nameplate. Intimate size, designed for personal use: bedside table, small private oratory, or an object carried during travels. The patina of the wood and metal is antique and uniform, without modern restoration. Visible signs of time, normal for an object of this nature and age. A simple, sincere icon, representative of 19th-century domestic piety, today sought after for its authenticity more than for its splendor.
