Vintage Bronze Eucharistic Lace Rosary Center
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Eucharistic Lace Rosary Center earns its name: the pierced frame of lilies and C-scrolls is worked as finely as lace, and the light passing through it is part of the design. Within the frame a chalice stands beneath a burst of rays and a small star, with wheat and flowering stems rising on either side and a basket of flowers heaped below.
Wheat and chalice together are the oldest shorthand for the Eucharist, the grain and the cup standing for the bread and the wine, and the rays above the chalice mark the moment of consecration. What is unusual here is the flowers. They turn what could be a solemn image into something closer to a First Communion garland, the way a parish church is dressed for the feast rather than the way it looks on an ordinary Tuesday. At just over an inch it is a substantial center, meant to be the visual anchor of a rosary rather than a quiet join between the decades.
The Eucharistic Lace rosary 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
