Vintage Bronze Double Rose Rosary Center
Product Details
One open five-petalled flower is laid over another on the Vintage Bronze Double Rose Rosary Center, the front bloom cupping a beaded center and the second spreading its petals and pointed leaves behind, with a bud tucked in at the top. The relief is deep for a piece this size, and the doubling gives it a satisfying thickness in the hand.
The rose has belonged to the Virgin since the Middle Ages, and the rosary itself takes its name from a garland of roses offered to her, every bead a flower in the crown. A floral center is therefore not ornament standing in for a subject; it names the devotion exactly, without picturing anything. The naturalistic cutting of the petals and leaves is characteristic of the nineteenth-century workshops that produced the antique original.
The double rose center 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
