Brass Art Deco...

Solid brass crucifix and center medal with French Hallmarks demonstrate classic Art Deco style that is typical of a vintage European rosary from the 1930s. The jet beads are in flawless condition and the entire assembly is in brass. This rosary is in perfect condition.

Three vintage and antique medals are attached:

• On the drop - Brass Pontifical medal for Pope Pius IX struck during his papacy in 1854.


• Also on the drop - A very unique large five sided brass Lourdes medal with inlaid blue enamel.


• On the first decade - Blue enamel over white on a round copper devotion to the Shrine of the Holy Blood in Brugge Belgium.
  The back of the medal depicts Jesus crowned with thorns and has a cleverly concealed "Italy" mark worked into the design.
