Antique Wax Crown, pictured in Jean D’Arc Living 04/2016

A delicate relic of ceremonial grace, this antique wax crown captures the ethereal beauty of bygone rituals and cherished celebrations. Featured in Jean D’Arc Living (04/2016), it remains a testament to the artistry of hand-crafted devotionals, bridal ornaments, or religious pageantry from the turn of the century.

Its slender white buds—crafted with remarkable precision—rise vertically in varying heights, echoing the quiet rhythm of purity and ascension. Each bloom is slightly different, yet unified in its graceful posture, creating an organic halo of serenity and charm. The wax remains exceptionally well-preserved, retaining its gentle ivory hue and refined detail despite the passage of time.

This crown may once have adorned the head of a young bride, a communicant, or a figure in a sacred tableau, symbolizing innocence, renewal, and a touch of divine grace.
