Description
Extremely Rare Vintage Monstrance. An artifact like this is unlikely to be found again outside either a very wealthy Catholic Church, or a museum. Made for the Frederick Pustet Co. in France, this was in a French church until it was decommissioned. It was then given to a Nun from the church who kept it until her passing. It has sat idle in its case for many years now and its owner would like to see it sold to a collector or a Church. It is a very intricate work of Art. It has 4 very nice Persian Turquoise gems and 13 Garnets of various size, the Monstrance is also Silver - Gilted and Gold Plated. The beauty of this historical piece is awe-striking! The Latin inscribed on the base translates to "Behold The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sins Of The World"! It also comes in its original case with the original doily under it. The dimensions of the Monstrance are, 27 inches tall, and 13 inches wide. The Monstrance weighs over 7 pounds. This item can also be seen in person by appointment. Please contact Afton Auction. Estimated auction price is $38,000 to $65,000.
