Antique Brass Medal of Our Lady of Lourdes – French Catholic Devotional. SIZE: 2.3 x 3.2 Cm. This is an authentic antique religious medal depicting the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Lourdes in a graceful posture of prayer. The front features a raised image of the Madonna, surrounded by a beautifully detailed, openwork frame with Gothic-style scrolls and flourishes, reflecting high craftsmanship of the early 20th century. The reverse bears the inscription “Souvenir de ND de Lourdes” (Souvenir of Our Lady of Lourdes), indicating its origin from the renowned Catholic pilgrimage site in Lourdes, France. Likely dating from the early 1900s, this medal was intended as a keepsake for pilgrims and has a deep spiritual and historical significance. Crafted in bronze or brass, it has developed a warm natural patina over the decades. The medal is well-preserved for its age, with minor surface wear that enhances its antique charm. Perfect for collectors of Catholic devotional medals, French religious antiques, or vintage Lourdes souvenirs, this unique piece is suitable for display, wearing, or as part of a rosary or prayer set. With many years of experience in sourcing and purchasing vintage items, I take great pride in offering quality products to collectors and enthusiasts alike. As a collector myself, I understand the passion and attention to detail that goes into each item. Your satisfaction is my priority.
