Monstrance - Metal - 1940-1950 - Lamb of God and Angels

Eucharistic monstrance with Agnus Dei and angels – silvered and gilded metal – 20th century Refined and scenographic Eucharistic monstrance in silvered and gilded metal, an elegant example of 20th-century sacred art, characterized by rich Christian symbolism and a particularly decorative workmanship. The circular case, the focal point of the composition, is adorned on the front with the golden representation of the Agnus Dei, depicted with the Cross, enclosed within a rich ornamental frame. The summit is topped by a small golden cross that accentuates the object’s vertical thrust. Particularly striking is the supporting structure: an angel with wings spread supports the case, creating a harmonious and highly theatrical composition. The base, richly modeled, is decorated with heads of winged cherubs and decorative motifs, with a succession of details that bear testimony to the great attention given to the ornamental aspect of the work. Of notable beauty is the contrast between the silver exterior and the golden elements. When the door is opened, the interior reveals a completely gilded surface, magnificently preserved, with a luminous, uniform, and nearly perfect gilding that constitutes one of the most fascinating elements of the monstrance. An object of great aesthetic presence, capable of uniting the charm of sacred art with the decorative quality of the craftsmanship. The contained proportions make it particularly pleasant to display, while the richness of the details fully emerges when viewed up close. Ideal for a collection of sacred art and liturgical objects, but equally fascinating placed in a classical, eclectic, or refined cabinet of curiosities. Our interior designer suggests displaying it on a console, inside a display cabinet, or beside old paintings and sculptures, enhancing it with warm lighting that can elevate the magnificent contrast between silver and gold. Era: 20th century Material: silvered and gilded metal Iconography: Agnus Dei, angel, cherubs and Cross Dimensions: about 23.5 × 10.5 × 5.5 cm The monstrance is presented in generally excellent condition, with slight and natural signs of time on the exterior compatible with its age. The interior preserves a splendid gilding in exceptional condition, particularly bright and evocative. Photos are an integral part of the description. The object will be carefully protected and packaged with professional materials, paying particular attention to the most delicate parts and to the embossed decorative elements.
