🙏 Rare 19th Century French Devotional Wall Plaque
This exceptional antique religious station from France dates to the 19th century and depicts Station VI of the Cross: "Jesus meets Saint Veronica." Crafted from bronze with gilt and silver patina, it radiates sacred depth and sculptural finesse.

Framed in a quatrefoil shape with ornate detailing, the plaque shows Veronica tenderly offering her veil to Christ—an emblematic moment of compassion and devotion in the Christian tradition. Three small holes at the top allow for easy wall mounting, making it ideal for display in a chapel corner, prayer room, or as spiritual wall art.

📖 A Glimpse into Its Sacred History

The Stations of the Cross—or Chemin de Croix in French—originated in early Christian pilgrimages to Jerusalem, then became widely adopted in churches across Europe. This plaque is part of a once-complete series, most likely from a private chapel or monastic institution. Its craftsmanship, enhanced by the use of silver and gold patinas, reflects the care given to devotional art in 19th century France.
