Antique French Our Lady of Pontmain Silvered Metal Figurine

A lovely antique French silvered metal figurine of Our Lady of Pontmain, standing on an ornate pedestal decorated with meaningful religious symbols. The Virgin Mary holds her traditional crucifix, and at her feet is the inscription ND de Pontmain for Notre-Dame de Pontmain. The pedestal is beautifully detailed, with a different symbol on each side—a cross, the Sacred Heart, an anchor, and a radiant emblem resembling a monstrance.

Standing almost 6 inches high, this devotional figurine was originally sold as a souvenir to pilgrims visiting the shrine at Pontmain, France. Today, it makes a beautiful addition to your collection of sacred objects, displayed on a bookshelf, tucked into a cabinet of curiosities, or placed among treasured antiques that tell your story. There is something especially touching about these pilgrimage souvenirs. Purchased to remember a meaningful journey, they have a way of carrying both history and sentiment across generations. Complimentary U.S. shipping included.

Collector's Note

Following the Marian apparition reported at Pontmain in 1871, pilgrims traveled from across France to visit the shrine. Small devotional souvenirs like this one were purchased as keepsakes of faith and remembrance. Collectors are drawn to these figures for their connection to French religious history and the beautiful craftsmanship found in even the simplest examples.
