Extremely Rare Vintage Monstrance. An artifact like this is unlikely to be found again outside of the Catholic Church, or a museum. Made for the Frederick Pustet Co. in France, this was in a Church in France until the Church was decommissioned. At That time,it was given to a Nun from the church who kept it until her passing. It has sat idle in its case for many years now and is deserving of a new owner who will appreciate it for not only its beauty but also for its religious meaning.It is a very intricate work of Art. It has 4 very nice Persian Turquoise gems and 13 Garnets of various size, the Monstrance is also Silver - Gilted and Gold Plated. The beauty of this historical piece is awe-striking! The Latin inscribed on the base translates to "Behold The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sins Of The World"! It also comes in its original case with the original doily under it. The dimensions of the Monstrance are, 27 inches tall, and 13 inches wide. The Monstrance weighs over 7 pounds. This item can also be seen in person by appointment. Please contact Afton Auction. Estimated auction price is $38,000 to $65,000.
