Large Antique 1819 Italian Engraving "Mater Amabilis" Sassoferrato (79x69cm)

A beautiful, large 19th-century antique copperplate engraving titled "MATER AMABILIS" (Virgin Mary in prayer). This is a genuine historical piece hand-printed in Florence, Italy, in 1819.

* The Art: Engraved by the Italian master Giovanni Battista Cecchi, based on the original Baroque painting by Il Sassoferrato. Features a hand-colored noble coat of arms dedicated to the Chigi family.

* Frame & Dimensions: Housed in a later vintage decorative gilt gesso wood frame. Large statement size, measuring 79cm x 69cm.

* Provenance & Condition: This piece has been locked away in a dry storage unit for the last 20 years. The frame is in great shape for its age. The antique paper shows some light vintage warping/waving along the borders from long-term storage, but it has been kept flat on its back to help it settle.
