Antique Italian Sacred Heart Ex Voto

1900 - 1920
Description

A rare and authentic Italian Ex-Voto from the late 19th early 20th century, depicting the Flaming Sacred Heart within an oval gilt frame behind glass.

Made of silver, this lovely small devotional object, is a genuine piece of tradition of the Catholic Church.

Ex-Voto derives from the Latin phrase meaning "from a vow," and refers to a gift, donation, or offering presented by worshippers for votive purposes. It serves as an expression of gratitude toward God, the Madonna, Jesus, or a specific saint (often the one of the parish of reference) in recognition of a grace or favour received.

The beautifully aged and moulded oval frame is made of brass.

This devotional wall piece originates from late nineteenth or early twentieth century Italy in a Victorian and Gothic style. The composition comprises an oval gilt frame with rounded mouldings enclosing a glass front, a dark fabric backing, and a central silvered metal repousse flaming Sacred Heart motif with a decorative border. The frame displays surface wear including minor marks and scuffs from age, while the interior metal retains a polished finish against the dark background. The item measures 16 cm high. It suits placement on a narrow wall space in a home study, hallway, or living room as a traditional decorative accent.

An ex-voto is a devotional offering placed in a church or shrine as a vow of gratitude for a granted prayer or recovery. Sacred Heart ex-votos specifically symbolise divine love and compassion within Catholic traditions.

These items were traditionally crafted using silver, silver-plated metal, or pewter featuring repousse and chased details. They were frequently set against dark velvet or fabric backings inside gilded wooden or brass frames.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit natural metal oxidisation, detailed repousse handwork, and gentle wear to the frame gilding. Original backing materials, historical glass, and aged wood backings confirm authenticity over modern reproductions.

Framed ex-votos work effectively when integrated into a curated gallery wall or displayed on a mantelpiece alongside modern ceramics. Their metallic textures and symbolic form introduce depth and narrative to contemporary spaces.

Dust the exterior frame and glass with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polishes. Keep the piece away from damp environments and direct sunlight to prevent cloth degradation or tarnishing of the metal.
