"Holy Family On Silver Plate Period Late 18th Century"
Beautiful oval embossed silver plaque representing the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus and Joseph in the clouds, Italy? Period late 18th century, early 19th century. The virgin Mary holds with her left arm the infant Jesus who is seated on her knee; each of them holds the cross and the rosary. Joseph kneeling at the right of Mary. The three characters are haloed. Two punches at the top left that I could not decipher, the silver may be low. An original suspension ring welded to tin. A small deformation of the metal on the contour on the right quite acceptable. I present to you this object in the state of discovery, with its old patina, it can be polished until obtaining a general brilliance: it is a matter of choice and taste ... Note: the smiling child.
