Vintage Catholic Religious Miraculous Medal Oval Pendant

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This antique Catholic religious medal features a classic oval shape, with an integrated ring for attaching it to a chain or bracelet. On the visible side, it features a raised representation of the Miraculous Virgin, her arms open, surrounded by a halo. The outline of the medal is accentuated by a slight raised border effect, typical of 20th-century devotional medals. The whole is distinguished by a patinated appearance that gives the object an authentic charm.

The surface of the medal has a gilded finish, with visible signs of wear, including micro-scratches and a uniform patina, signs of past use. The details of the central motif remain clearly identifiable despite the wear, particularly the silhouette of the Virgin and the decorative elements around the edge.

The bail is round, integral with the body of the medal, allowing it to be used as a pendant. No legible text appears on the visible side of the medal in this image, but the style and representation are characteristic of religious objects produced in France during the 20th century.

The medal is photographed on a white cushion, placed in a baroque-style gold-decorated case, which is not included but enhances the object through contrast and brightness. The overall scene highlights the antique and pious character of this medal.

Condition
Second-hand item, sold as is. The medal shows visible wear, a marked patina, and some superficial marks, without major chips. The whole remains in good overall condition for a vintage item of this nature.

Did you know? The so-called "Miraculous Medal," created in 1832 following the apparitions of the Virgin to Saint Catherine Labouré in Paris, is one of the most widely distributed religious objects in the Catholic world. Its iconography has remained unchanged for almost two centuries.
