Vintage Bronze Sacred Heart and Madonna Rosary Center with Roses
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Sacred Heart and Madonna Rosary Center with Roses is heart-shaped, with a full-blown rose at each shoulder and a scalloped ornament at the foot, framing an oval medallion on each face. One oval holds a crowned Virgin carrying the crowned Christ Child; the other holds Christ seated, his hand raised at the heart on his breast. The frame is worked in deep relief while the ovals are recessed, so each figure sits in its own small niche.
The two roses give the piece its name and place it in a long tradition of rose ornament on Marian rosary furniture. The rosary is a garland of roses in the first place, which is what the word means, and putting the flower on the center says plainly what the beads below it are for. The pairing of the crowned Virgin with the Sacred Heart follows the same logic: the mother crowned and the Son offering his heart, held on two faces of one small object that a hand returns to five decades at a time.
The 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
