Antique Russian Icon Virgin Mary & Child Hand Painted on Wood, 19th C

Dear collectors, I offer you a magnificent piece of jewelry from my jewelry collection!

Add a piece of authentic spiritual art to your collection - this unique antique hand-painted icon of the Madonna and Child tells a timeless story of faith and devotion.

This is a beautiful antique Russian Orthodox icon depicting the Virgin Mary and Child, hand-painted on a solid wood panel. Originally adorned with a metal oklad (cover), this icon now shows only the original painted surface, which reveals exquisite craftsmanship typical of late 19th to early 20th century iconography.

Technique: Hand-painted tempera on wood. Condition: Shows natural signs of age - wear, cracks, and areas of paint loss, all adding to its genuine antique patina. Estimated Date: Late 1800s to early 1900s. This icon is a wonderful collectible for icon enthusiasts, antique art lovers, or as a meaningful decorative piece.
