Art Deco Holy water font - 1930-1940 - Gold-plated brass, enamel

This lot is part of my special auction of religious objects. Take a look at the others as well: who knows, you might find the piece that’s missing from your collection or the perfect one to start a collection! On this item: Wall-mounted brass gilt, of Central European origin, dating from the 1930s-40s, in refined Art Deco style, characterized by clean lines and geometric shapes. It features a Christ crucified in relief, with a halo adorned with red enamel, on a background worked in relief. A notable feature is the basin with geometric, faceted shapes. Beautiful patina of time, with natural signs of wear and traces of green oxidation near the basin. We have chosen to preserve this oxidation without further polishing, as it testifies to its use over time and tells the story of this devotional object. Overall dimensions, 17x11 cm. Adequate packaging and fast shipping.

Estimate:£83.42
