(for more information and more links to collections see below) + OUR GERMAN COLLECTOR MUSEUM COLLECION SERIES from private collections who have given us permission to use their images so we may be inspired by and may learn more about antique rosaries, chaplets and prayer beads. + RELIQUARY CRUCIFIXES These two rosaries are from our German Collector and are magnificent examples of rosaries that have reliquary crucifixes. Each is packed full of saints relics. It was traditional for the relics of saints to be contained in various forms and comes from scriptural references. + This collection of antique and vintage rosaries and chaplets is from our gentleman in Germany who has generously sent us images of a few of his rosaries. We learn a great deal as we look over the designs and read his commentary (in quotes) about each one. They appear very similar yet are uniquely different. for more information

*NUN'S RELIQUARY ROSARY I* |
*1800 RELIQUARY ROSARY II* |
BUT NOT IDENTICAL These two rosaries appear to be identical but if you look carefully, you will see they are very similar but uniquely different from one another. (Note 'rose' carved bone beads) +
+
+ You can see the screw opening at the bottom of the cross, and again, this crucifix has the traditional for the times, figure below the feet of Christ. (Mary?) +
+ ESTIMATED AGE - 1800 Our collector said, " This is a relic rosary. the complete rosary is carved bone. the cross is made from brass and both sides of the open reliquary are filled with relics [framed in gold passementerie] It is hard ti estimate the age but I think about 1800." |
