A beautiful collection of forty antique religious medals, imbued with fervor and delicacy, witnesses to a popular piety of yesteryear.
Each medal tells a story: that of a pilgrimage, a communion, a vow, or a precious memory held close to the heart.
There is a beautiful diversity of shapes and styles:
some oval and round medals, others heart-shaped, rose-shaped or cross-shaped, some finely enamelled in blue or gilded, others with a more sober charm, patinated by time.
The representations are varied:
Virgin Mary (Lourdes, Miraculous, Immaculate Conception), the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Saint Anthony of Padua, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, and several souvenir medals from Jerusalem or French pilgrimages.
