Item Description
This is a lovely collection of seven antique Italian Sacred Hearts that date from the 19th century. These are votives or Ex Votos used to express gratitude for receiving miracles such as a healing, or having one's prayers heard. They are made from silver and silver plated metal with stunning filigree work depicting angels and flowers. Most of the hearts bear the letters PGR [per grazia richevuta - for the grace received] or the initials AM for Ave Maria. These are highly decorative antique treasures filled with a profound beauty and meaning. They could be hung on a wall or displayed on a flat surface. They could also be a glorious Christmas tree decorations. The hearts are in different sizes ranging from the larges being 23.5 x 17.5 cm or approximately 9.2 x 6.8 inches to the smallest measuring about 6.5 x 6.5 cm or 2.5 x 2.5 inches. They are in good antique condition and exactly as I discovered them with their captivating patina. However they could be pollished if desired. For the full condition please refer to the images!
