Vintage Bronze 1907 Baptism Charm with Angel
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze 1907 Baptism Charm with Angel keeps a family sacrament in a piece an inch across. One face shows a winged figure bending forward against a ground of fine radiating lines, a small form beneath and a dove descending above, the angel present at a christening and the Spirit coming down on the water.
The other face is filled edge to edge with the record itself, in five lines of raised lettering that read like an engraver's hand: HORACIO CORTES, JUNIO-30-1907, PADRINOS PAULA D. DE MANZANARES, BENITO H. LAZCANO — Horacio Cortes, the thirtieth of June 1907, and the names of his two godparents. Those names and that date belong to the antique keepsake this piece was cast from, one Spanish-speaking family's memory of a child brought to the font more than a century ago, now carried forward in a charm that can be worn today.
The 1907 baptism charm was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
