About the Item

An exceptional travel reliquary created by the renowned German firm Erhard Sons, circa 1930. Crafted in wood, porcelain, and bronze, this devotional object perfectly reflects the refined aesthetics of the Vienna Secession movement, known for its elegant geometry, artistic restraint, and subtle ornamentation. The central porcelain medallion depicts Raphael’s Madonna della Seggiola, a symbol of serenity and divine grace, framed by finely detailed bronze mounts and a beautifully preserved wooden case. Designed to be portable, this piece combines sacred purpose with exquisite craftsmanship, embodying the intersection of art, faith, and design. This reliquary remains in excellent original condition, showing no restorations, and preserving its authentic patina and early 20th-century charm. It is a rare collector’s item that speaks to the spiritual devotion and artistic sensibility of pre-war Europe.
