This striking pair of decorative crowns draws inspiration from traditional 18th- and 19th-century European Santos (saint) cage doll crowns and Catholic ecclesiastical adornments. Crafted with an openwork domed silhouette, each piece features aged, bronze-finished metal ribbing wrapped with intricate spiraling clear glass seed beads. The base is detailed with a pierced open-trellis circlet, while the peak is surmounted by a classic globus cruciger (cross and orb) finial, historically symbolizing celestial authority and sanctity.

These pieces serve beautifully as authentic rustic French provincial accent decor, decorative cloche toppers, or display objects for religious art collections.

Dimensions: 23 cm (H) x 15 cm (W)

Both crowns are in very good vintage condition with an attractive aged patina to the metalwork and intact bead detailing throughout.
