Unusual, distressed and distorted antique pewter wall Holy water font.
The Infant Jesus is represented in the arms of Mary. 'Jesus... Maria' are written at the top.
18th century.
The font has been heavily used and damaged.
The receptacle was welded quite roughly to a plaque by a previous owner.
The plaque has two little holes on the sides to attach to a wall or a base. Two small holes at the top so it can be hung on the wall. Small loop at top made roughly with wire.
The plaque itself is so heavy that the font will not stand on its own. It has to be placed against a wall or hung.
The plaque is slightly distorted, broken at the bottom just above the receptacle and has stains and scratches.
The small pot is completely distorted as can be seen in the photographs. It was also repaired and has melted metal in places.
The font has been used and there are some limescale marks inside.
A beautiful and very unique object that needs a bit of care or could be used to make another piece.
24 x 13.5 cm / 9.44 x 5.11 inches
The plaque itself is approx. 16.5 x 13.5 cm / 6.29 x 5.11 inches
Weight: 505 grams.
