Vintage blue Catholic religious pendant, lot of 2 antique medals

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of two antique Catholic religious pendants, visible in the photo. Both pieces have a polygonal shape, with a multi-faceted outline, and are equipped with a metal bail for hanging. The pendants have a translucent blue visual appearance, the hue of which varies slightly between a deep blue and a lighter blue depending on the angle of the light. One of the visible sides reveals a slightly raised motif, probably a religious representation, typical of an old Catholic medal, but the precise scene remains difficult to identify in this image.

The two pendants appear to be made with a smooth and shiny finish, with a transparency effect reminiscent of stained glass or an old resin, without the precise material being identifiable in the absence of an indication in the keywords. The perimeter features a silver-colored metal banding, adding a touch of discreet elegance to the whole. The visible attachments are classic bail type, allowing for easy wearing on a chain or cord.

The shades of blue provide a strong visual presence, enhanced by natural light that accentuates the reflections and depth of the medallions. The contours are sharp, and no major chips are visible on the presented side. The details of the central motif, although partially visible, evoke traditional religious iconography, possibly a Virgin or a saint, but without certainty from this view.

The pendants are displayed in an antique-looking case, with a light fabric interior and a rim adorned with an elaborate gold decoration, highlighting the vintage character of the set. No legible markings or inscriptions appear on the visible faces.

The ensemble testifies to a classic style of Catholic religious jewelry, typical of the 20th century, with a sober and timeless aesthetic. These medals are perfectly suited for spiritual use or as traditional jewelry.
