Antique Religious Bronze Wall Plaque of Holy Mary and Child after Donatello

About the Item

Symbolic and meaningful work of religious art. Since the original by Donatello is in a museum somewhere, this beautiful bronze wall plaque 'after Donatello' is the best specimen you will be able to find anywhere. The original 'Mary and Child' by Donatello was hand carved out of white marble, this stunning wall plaque is made of solid bronze and there is not another one to be found anywhere in the world. This remarkable antique has an amazing patina that perfectly represents its age of 115 years. What we love most about this rare (and possibly unique) bronze wall plaque is the carefree nature and the love and positivity that it radiates. This Mary and Child with halos almost seem to be coming out of this wall plaque which makes it even more impressive and vivid. Thanks to the perfect brass hook atop, this antique plaque is easy and safe to mount on your wall as well. These are the marks that tell us by whom and where this artwork was created. Fondeur: Fumière, Avignot Frés et Thièbaut Frés Paris, France 1898-1905. after DONATO DI BETTO - Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi (circa 1386–13 December 1466), better known as Donatello.

  • Antique Icon like Gilt Bronze Mary and Child Jesus Plaque over a Holy Water Font
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Meaningful and perfectly hand-crafted antique church relic. This religious work of art dates from the earliest years of the 20th century and you could not wish for a better condition antique. This finest of holy water font plaques could not be in better condition, but that is also because it was all handcrafted out of the best materials only. Even the hand sawn, square nuts on the back are gilt. And the cross-like hook with the French Gothic fleur-de-lis ends with the ring on top (for easy mounting this gem to your wall) is another detail that shows us that no expense was spared when this antique was hand-crafted all those years ago. Whenever we find religious antiques of this quality and excellent condition, they usually were made for and used in either a church or a monastery (also, because that is where the budget was for the best quality pieces). The quality and the finish of this church relic really is among the best we have ever seen, but the quality of and the details in the sereen Mother Mary...

  • Rare Set of Christian Art Deco Bronze Jesus, Mary & Angel Wall Plaques by Norga
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Rare set of three, good size and mint condition works of religious art. This group of three bronze works of art (deco) all depict biblical scenes and they can be placed and worshipped in all kinds of settings. Meaningful and perfectly handcrafted works of religious art like these were mostly used in monasteries, private homes, but also on the more expensive cemeteries. The one on the left depicts Mother Mary and John the Baptist as they mourn over the body of Christ right after He was taken from the cross. The bronze plaque in the middle, we believe, depicts the third station where Jesus falls for the first time. The third bronze depicts a beautiful Arch Angel kneeling...
