Pink stone and copper
France, circa 1890–1920
A wall-mounted holy water stoup carved from warm pink stone, fitted with a small copper basin and crowned with a Sacred Heart medallion.
Made for blessing the threshold.
Traditionally hung near an entryway or bedroom door, pieces like this offered a daily pause, a moment of reverence before crossing from one space into another.
Time has softened the surfaces. Touch has shaped its patina.
It carries the feeling of having been used, not displayed.
Found
Found on a sunlit January morning at a brocante near Bastille in the Marais.
Wrapped as a gift in an embroidered linen handkerchief by the woman who sold it to me.
Some objects arrive already blessed.
Suggested Use
• Holy or sacred water
• A simple daily blessing ritual
• Near a doorway, bed, or altar
Use devotionally or intuitively.
Both are welcome.
