Item Description
This is a magnificent pair of large 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, crowns and flowers. The hearts bear the letters GR [grazia richevuta - grace received] and 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. Each heart measures about 26 x 20 cm or approximately 10.2 x 7.8 inches. They are in lovely antique condition and exactly as I discovered them In Naples with their captivating patina. However they could be pollished if desired. For the full condition please refer to the images!
