Vintage White Bronze Joan of Arc Cross of Lorraine
Product Details
The Vintage White Bronze Joan of Arc Cross of Lorraine sets a double-barred cross with a fleur-de-lys raised on every arm and on the foot, and a figure in armour standing against the upright, seen in profile beneath a fluted crest. Leafy branches sweep diagonally across the whole cross from the lower left, half covering the lilies as they go.
The emblems are Joan's own: the cross of Lorraine for the country of her birth, the lilies of France for the king she saw crowned at Reims. The antique original was a brass pin of 1920, the year she was canonised, when her image was everywhere in France and the cross of Lorraine was beginning its long career as a badge of resistance. The reproduction keeps the softness of a design already once worn thin by use, which suits a saint remembered for endurance.
The cross 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
