Antique silver reliquary medal with children's photographic portraits on an oval mount. The openwork frame, inspired by plant motifs, is crafted from stamped silver filigree with an irregular outline and a top ring for hanging. The photographs, likely original period prints, are printed on photographic paper and protected.
Typical of devotional and sentimental jewelry from the 1920s to the 1940s, these medals were used as family keepsakes, featuring portraits of children set in wearable mounts. The openwork design, with its romantic flair, frames the image in a delicate composition reminiscent of late Victorian pieces reinterpreted in a popular style.

Ideal for collectors of personal items, portrait medals, and vintage photographic keepsakes. They can also be worn as unique pendants or incorporated into narrative jewelry compositions.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
