French antique engraving of the Virgin Mary in an unusual frame as there is glass on both sides.
Written at the bottom: 'Souvenir de la consécration à la T. S. Vierge' (T. S. stand for Très Sainte) which translates as 'Remembrance of the consecration to the Blessed Virgin'.
At the back is the text for the consecration of Jean-François Le Metayer (hand-written).
The engraving is really beautiful and in good condition. The colours are still vivid.
Printed by Lemercier in Paris.
Late 1800s / early 1900s.
The paper is thin so the writings are visible on the illustration side if the frame is held in certain lights.
Very solid wood frame that is scratched, stained and has several little holes and imperfections.
A piece of wood is missing at the back as two rusty nails are exposed.
The glass also has several imperfections and stains.
Nothing to hang but the frame is so thick it actually stands by itself. There was a ribbon at the top but it was cut. A small nail at the back is out by a millimeter or two so a string could be tied around.
Size of frame: 20.1 x 29.2 x 2.4 cm / 7.91 x 11.41 x 0.78 inches
Frame opening: 11.7 x 20.8 cm / 4.33 x 7.87 inches
