Vintage Bronze The World Rosary Center
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze World Rosary Center takes an unusual subject: the world itself. A globe is cast with its continents in relief, a raised band around the equator and a fine grid of latitude and longitude running over the whole surface, and it is seated inside an open frame that sweeps down from two shoulders to a point, in the shape of a heart.
Centers like this belong to the missionary devotions of the last two centuries, when the rosary was prayed for the world by name, for the missions, for peace, for whole countries in trouble, and a globe in the hand made that intention visible. The heart-shaped frame says the rest: a world held in love rather than merely surveyed. The openwork keeps the piece light, and an antiqued finish settles into the grid so that the continents stand clear of the seas.
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
