Item Description
A rare and beautifully preserved late 19th-century devotional shrine featuring a three-dimensional figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary housed within an ornate shadowbox frame. The statue depicts the Virgin in prayer, adorned in flowing white robes with a sky-blue mantle and floral crown, standing serenely against a richly embossed metallic backdrop. Flanking her are delicate fabric flowers and decorative arrangements.
This piece is framed in an elaborate gilt shadowbox with raised foliate and bow motif detailing and a pleated silk backdrop. Below the figure is a printed "Petition to the Blessed Virgin” prayer card offering indulgence, while remnants of the original 1889 copyright label from the Collins-Campbell Co. remain visible on the verso.
Condition
