This antique French hand-painted bénitier (holy water font) is a charming devotional piece, traditionally hung near an entryway or bedside. Crafted in glazed ceramic, it features a delicately painted cherub set against soft clouds, with a small basin below for holy water. The naïve, expressive brushwork and gentle wear speak to its age and devotional use, adding warmth and authenticity. It is beautiful example of French religious folk art sourced from a brocante in Lille. dimensions: 4"W x 6"H x 1.75"D Show more
