Vintage Madonna & Child German Wax Art

$80.00

This is a wonderful example of vintage devotional artwork. The image is of Our Lady as the Queen of Heaven. The Madonna is shown wearing a crown, holding a scepter, and standing upon a crescent moon.

Christ is giving a blessing while holding an orb, representing His dominion over the world. This is Our Lord as the Salvator Mundi or Savior of the World.

The reverse is covered with a page from a book. It is in Latin and looks to be a church history mentioning the Virgin Mary. There is also a tag that reads “Nr. 371 Munchner Madonna.” This image of the Queen of Heaven is from the famous statue in Munich.

Although we do not have the provenance for this piece, wax art is a very old Bavarian tradition.

Condition: There is some damage to the wax and the frame. Please see pictures.

Dimensions: 7.25” tall x 5” wide

Crucifix with Mary & Joseph Last Rites Set

This is a unique vintage sick call set for the home. It is a beautiful, gold-painted corpus on a wood cross with the figures of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph to either side. The back opens to reveal a box that contains all the items needed for the priest’s visit. This set contains a petite holy water bottle, two unused wax candles, and cotton still in the original cellophane. There are two candleholders and a slot for standing the crucifix upright, making this a complete home altar.

Last Rites/Sick Call sets: These boxes are used in Catholic homes to store the items needed by a priest for the anointing of the sick and for extreme unction. The only items necessary for these rites are a crucifix, blessed candles, and holy water. However, many sets would often have had additional items such as cotton for the oil, a linen cloth, a spoon, a plate, and prayer books.
