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

Antique Chi Rho Holy Water Font

This is a stunning antique holy water font. The central image is an elongated Chi Rho christogram set in classic Art Deco period framing. The piece is metal with a bright brassy finish and a fluted plastic font bowl. Made in Germany.

Chi Rho Christogram:

According to the ancient historian Eusebius of Caesarea (circa 300 AD), Emperor Constantine I, who was not Christian, had a vision while on the march with his army. The emperor and his entire army saw a cross above the sun with the inscription “By this sign you will conquer” in Greek. Later, Christ appeared to him in a dream and instructed Constantine to use this sign as a protection in battle. Constantine ordered a likeness of the vision to be used as his new military standard and went on to win his battles. This insignia is now known as the Chi- Rho.

Constantine went on to study Christian theology and called a stop to the ongoing persecutions. He also decriminalized Christian worship with the Edict of Milan which allowed Christianity to flourish safely for the first time.

Condition: There are small scratches and wear in the finish. Please See Pictures.
