Brass devotional stand
Central Europe, c. 1890–1920
A small, weighty object of quiet devotion.
This engraved brass stand holds a single card, folded prayer, or written intention upright, as if listening. Its surface is etched with repeating leaf forms, softened now by time and touch. The base is steady in the hand, made to remain, to witness.
Once used to display holy cards or prayer slips on a domestic altar or bedside table, it now invites a slower rhythm. A place to rest a word, a name, a prayer you wish to keep close.
A faint paper label remains beneath the base, a trace of its passage through hands and places before arriving here.
Ce qui est confié ici reste.
What is entrusted here remains.
Suggested Use
• Holding a holy card or sacred image
• Displaying a written prayer or intention
• Altar object for daily devotion or contemplation
Material
Engraved brass
Condition
Vintage, with natural patina, surface wear, and original label remnants consistent with age
Important Notice
