Bring a piece of historic European devotion into your home with this beautiful antique religious textile panel.
Discovered in France, this vintage devotional banner features the deeply revered iconography of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii (Beata Vergine del Rosario di Pompei). The vibrant chromolithograph print on textured canvas fabric depicts the Virgin Mary enthroned with the Infant Jesus, distributing holy rosaries to Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena.
The lower pedestal features the iconic Latin inscription "AVE MARIA" (Hail Mary), while the Virgin's collar is subtly inscribed with "ROSARIO."
Framed at the top and bottom with its original, ornate metallic-toned ribbon trim, this flexible textile panel was originally produced in Italy and brought across the border to France as a treasured pilgrimage souvenir or household blessing from the late 19th century.
This is an authentic antique item. It displays a beautiful historic patina, with minor edge wear, aging on the reverse backing, and slight softening of the textile fibers consistent with its age and devotional history. It measures 14" x 19" and is perfect for collectors of sacred art, vintage textiles, or anyone looking to enrich a home altar space.
