Antique Religious FRENCH Hand Painted Carved RELIC Napolean III Meerschaum LOURDES Virgin Mary St Bernadette Rosary Beads Pendant Necklace





From our Lourdes Collection..... The representation of Lourdes is like none other! The C 1850-60 carving has a brass frame. The stone material is Meerschaum and the piece is hand painted in colors. This is the only one of these with this exact scene that we have found in 10 years of shopping in France, a rare piece indeed! The presentation features the Virgin Mary in the grotto at Lourdes with Saint Bernadette. In the background is the Cathedral of Lourdes. The French inscription reads, "I am the Immaculate Conception" as well as "Souvenir of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes." We mounted the piece on complimentary antique Clear Crystal faceted Rosary beads with Filigree Bead caps, also from France. The original 3 Way medal has the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Virgin Mary on the reverse side. This piece could be worn on your neck or mounted on your wall with other religious artifacts for a remarkable presentation! Rosary is 29" total in length and the Meerschaum carving is approx. 2 5/8 " by 2 1/8". Lynn Konrad
