    Reliquary frame 19th century cross with hair and foliage wood and curved glass

    Magnificent, rare and extraordinarily well-preserved reliquary, this devotional object comes from the French religious & funerary crafts of the 19th century during the Second Empire of Napoleon III.

    It contains strands of carefully braided hair set against a light background, probably of a deceased woman, formed into a cross & accompanied by foliage. This symbolizes love for the deceased, and attachment to lost ones. The whole is protected by a black wooden frame typical of the Napoleon III period, and curved glass.

    It's important to remember the instructions on the back of the frame: "Hair frames should not be exposed to sunlight, as it will damage them and they will be lost". It can also be hung on the wall, perfect for a collection of reliquaries or 19th-century classics.

    Fast & careful delivery in France, Europe & Worldwide.
