Description:
800 silver medallion made in Italy by the prestigious Florentine silversmith Brandimarte in the 1950s, finely embossed with two angels guarding an altar with the inscription Fides (Faith) illuminated by a divine ray.
This object was traditionally given as a gift at baptism as a symbol of angelic protection and a wish of faith for the newborn.
Often used as a crib headboard to watch over the child.
The use of 800 silver guaranteed value and durability, while the decorative style recalls the Baroque motifs typical of Italian sacred art of the period.
Today it retains historical and emotional value and is sought after by collectors of sacred objects and vintage silverware.
Being a vintage item, there are signs of wear. See photos.
Accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity.
Complete with matching case.
