Religious1/Crown.   Madonna / Santos Crown ----   33" Tall -- Magnificent Antique French Crown / Halo  circa 1800's.  This piece is outstanding in appearance and all wood and can be used for many things such as Around your Saint or Madonna  Santos statues, or perhaps above your bed to a rich appearance, or add some fabric to it.  It will adorn any wall you place this on.

 Yet, another idea might be --you place it around your bathroom/bedroom wall & surround the interior with beautiful gold picture frames or framed mirrors..   Its  hand crafted and gold gilding is surrounding it as shown... This is one of the largest I have ever come across in my overseas travels.  The pointers are long and one being the largest to approx. 11.5"  with some being curved adding a gorgeous appearance to them and some being straighter. It has repairs which is wonderful to keep its appearance to last a lifetime.

 It comes apart as shown and can be placed together easily with wooden pegs which at one time were added later for transporting from one church to another. . You may wish to glue in the other side of the pegs once you easily join them together as shown in my photos.  Its amazing in the making.  If you wish to secure the wooden pegs after you glue them you might wish to add another support at backside with brass holders.

  Breathtaking antique crown / halo to treasure and to admire daily.  The larger wooden pegs you see on the interior base must have been used to push into her head or for securing reason which I have no idea... however you may wish to add antique tassels to these to hang downward giving a great appearance to it more or just remove these larger pegs.  Again, its large and extremely difficult to come by one like this due to its size thus a Rich  appearance.  Photos are always part of my description.

 Measures: 32" wide by 33" Tall.     $ 1,588
