Vintage Antique “Holy Grave of Christ” German Chromolithograph c. Up for sale is a stunningly preserved, turn-of-the-century European devotional chromolithograph depicting the Holy Grave of Christ No. This vibrant print showcases exceptional multi-stone lithography detailing Jesus Christ resting in the tomb, surrounded by adoring angels, the Eucharist/Monstrance, and the Arma Christi (Instruments of the Passion-including the Holy Lance, Crown of Thorns, hammer, nails, and the INRI titulus). This piece comes housed in its gorgeous, original late-Victorian “step-down” stained hardwood frame with its original wavy glass and a heavy antique cardboard backing panel. DimensionsTotal Outer Frame: 24.5 inches wide x 20.5 inches high. Visible Sight Size (Inner Window): 18.5 inches wide x 14.5 inches high. Molding Width: 3 inches. This item is in beautiful antique condition with excellent color retention. Artwork: The lithograph ink remains incredibly bright and vivid with minimal fading. Frame & Glass: The original hardwood frame is structurally sound, featuring an original top-center metal eyelet hanger. There is some minor, age-appropriate separation at the mitered corner joints and typical flaking/tarnish on the inner gilt liner trim. The original antique wavy glass is intact with no cracks. Backing & Hardware: The thick antique cardboard backing board shows a prominent, historic watermark tide-line on the lower-left section from past moisture exposure. The panel remains completely dry and structurally sound. The backing is secured into the frame by incredibly old framing tape overlaid across a few old original framing nails underneath. The tape has heavily yellowed, become brittle, and dried over time, but it remains fully intact and has kept the piece sealed. Please review all high-resolution photos closely as they serve as the definitive visual extension of this condition report. Thank you and God bless!

An exceptional antique German religious plaque, masterfully cast in silver and rich with symbolic detail. This finely sculpted piece depicts a tender baptismal scene beneath a heavenly cherub, capturing a moment of divine blessing and spiritual significance. The craftsmanship is striking-high-relief figures with expressive movement, framed by a twisted rope border that adds both depth and elegance. The aged patina enhances every contour, giving the piece a warm, time-earned character that only authentic antique silver can achieve. Likely originating from Germany or Denmark, this plaque was almost certainly created as a baptismal keepsake or devotional object, intended to commemorate a sacred milestone. Pieces of this nature are increasingly scarce, especially with such strong visual presence and legible inscription. Whether displayed as a statement piece, added to a collection of religious antiquities, or appreciated for its artistic merit, this plaque carries both historical weight and timeless beauty-presenting far above its category and commanding attention in any setting. Back of the medal does have some glue residue like it was attached to something else at some point. See all photos for condition.
