Early 20th Century Wrought Iron Crown With Orb & Cross
I bought this for myself from an auction house in Germany. Its a pain in euros and high auction premiums and shipping but usually don't squabble when I really want the piece which is small but otherwise it would be new and tin.
Thanks Brunswick !
This is fantastic Phil! I feel the same when it comes to purchases from across the pond. If I want it bad enough, I'm willing to overlook the fees and shipping charges.
Gorgeous golden crown, beautifully detailed. Awesome find Phil!
Beautiful crown!
Phil - I really love the crown. - its seems that we all share the same thoughts concern our wants...the heart gets what the heart wants...
Is this a crown that you can actually wear on one's head? I love that - and would wear it proudly. Lori
Not a head crown Lori, but nice decoration !~
I used to buy a lot of things from an auction in England, jscott, then it was auctions for car mascots in France. Now I need to pick on thing and focus... thanks for the heads up !~
Thanks Mani for the visit...much love to you !~

Very nice.
Thanks Vetraio50, I never considered that and it makes total sense !~
Lovely piece! Iwonder if it came from a baroque image of a saint...
Thank you M, I have considered that also, especially since a lot of saints and members of the Holy family are depicted with crowns. I have seen a lot of smaller statue saints with crowns on their heads. Nice to hear from you !~
