Vintage Religious Icon in Ornate Metal Frame

Bring a profound sense of cathedral grandeur to your space with this stunning vintage Eastern Orthodox Madonna and Child religious icon. Perfectly capturing the solemn beauty of Byzantine sacred art, this piece features a classic lithograph print of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, flanked by authentic Cyrillic script and radiant golden halos. It serves as a deeply captivating focal point for a vintage vanity, moody academia library, or a traditional home altar. The true showstopper is the premium mid-century easel frame, which has been expertly paired with the print to create a seamless, cohesive display piece. Crafted in the 1960s or 1970s, the frame showcases a heavy, openwork brass filigree border intricately detailed with blooming flowers and elegant scrolling leaves. Standing at a substantial 12 inches tall by 11 inches wide, the reverse side reveals high-quality European craftsmanship featuring a textured, fabric-wrapped backing board and a heavy-duty, wide folding easel stand for secure tabletop display. • Structure & Hardware: Superior structural integrity. The heavy openwork metal frame is completely rigid, the backing board fits snugly, and the wide folding easel stand operates smoothly and rests perfectly level. • Surface & Finish: Beautifully preserved condition. The ornate brass frame displays a rich, authentic golden patina with gorgeous depth in the crevices, entirely free of heavy corrosion, while the protected lithograph print behind the glass remains flat and vibrant.
