17c WOOD and FILIGREE ROSARY
A RARE SILVER AND WOOD
FILIGREE ROSARY
We quote the collector
on this wonderful old rosary. "A truly marvelous old rosary that was
de-accessioned from the De Young Museum in San Francisco some time ago.
It is a wonderful treasure, of a kind that hardly ever comes up for sale.”
CONFIGURATION - BEADS - MEDALLION
We are always looking for antique rosaries to share with those who are interested in the history of the rosary and what they looked like as they were used centuries ago. If you have one and are able to scan or photograph a rosary of this period, please let us see it!
