Antique metal Holy water font with Sacred Heart of Jesus painted porcelain medallion
Thin engraved gilded metal frame. The Sacred Heart with a book and cross are represented at the top. A chalice, wheat and vine leaves are at the bottom.
Beautiful porcelain medallion in the centre with Jesus holding the Sacred Heart.
The receptacle is made of a different metal that was painted gold too. The gold has gone in places. 
The inside was painted blue but it was used so much that the paint is flaking. Corrosion spots too.
The frame has marks, stains and scratches commensurate with age and use. Gilt gone in small places.
The metal is slightly distorted in places.
The porcelain has some light marks but is still in very good condition.
Late 19th or early 20th century.
Can be hung on the wall as there is a small loop at the back.
Dimension: 24.2 x 11.6 cm or 9.52 x 4.33 inches
