Vintage Catholic Religious Pendant Metal Miraculous Virgin Antique Medallion

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage-style religious pendant is an oval-shaped metal Catholic medallion, as seen in the photo. The front, the only part shown, features a raised depiction of the "Miraculous Virgin Mary," with open arms, radiating downwards. The scene is surrounded by a circular inscription in capital letters, which includes: "O MARIA SINE LABE CONCEPTA ORA PRO NOBIS QUI AD TE CONFUGIMUS" and the date "1830" at the bottom, typical of the Miraculous Medal.

The surface of the pendant shows a uniform metallic appearance, with a slightly patinated matte finish, typical of antique or vintage objects. The suspension ring is integrated into the upper part, allowing the medallion to be easily attached to a chain or cord. No other decorative elements or marks are visible on the side shown.

The carefully engraved central motif highlights the traditional religious style. The metal's hue is golden brown, with warm reflections that accentuate the relief of the decoration. The details of the Virgin and the inscriptions are clear and well-defined, indicating careful craftsmanship. The ensemble evokes a pious medal typical of 19th or 20th-century Catholic devotion, often given as a symbol of protection.

The medallion is photographed in natural light, which enhances its color and texture. No major flaws are visible on the side shown, apart from some slight traces of wear or handling, normal for an antique item. The uniform patina reinforces the authentic and traditional look of the pendant.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The overall condition is good for a vintage religious pendant; slight traces of wear visible on the surface.

Did you know? The Miraculous Medal, created after the Marian apparitions of 1830 in Paris, is one of the most widespread devotional objects in the Catholic world. Its Latin inscription and the date "1830" directly refer to the revelations made to Saint Catherine Labouré in the chapel on Rue du Bac.
