This Antique Copper and Wrought Iron Holy Water Dispenser, dating to around 1900, is a striking piece that combines functional design with religious symbolism. Made of solid copper, the dispenser has developed a warm patina over time, enhancing its antique appeal. The top of the dispenser features a cross, and the inscription “HOLY WATER” is etched into the metal, signifying its sacred use. The body is mounted on a wrought iron frame with four twisted legs, providing both stability and an ornamental touch.
At the bottom of the dispenser is a remarkable motif of Jesus with a crown of thorns, adding a powerful and intricate religious symbol to the design. Below this, a small basin collects the holy water as it is dispensed, combining both practicality and artistry. The wrought iron frame, with its delicate twisted details, complements the overall aesthetic, making this piece both functional and a visually compelling work of art.
In good condition, with minor wear consistent with its age, this holy water dispenser offers both beauty and history. It would make a distinctive addition to a religious antique collection or serve as a unique and meaningful decorative piece in any home. 51h x 14w x 15d
