    Here we have a beautiful French antique meerschaum (ecume de mer - foam of the sea) icon depicting The Marriage of the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, which makes it a most unusual  piece. The meerschaum artwork is framed in its original wooden ebonized frame under the original convex glass and is signed by the artist at the bottom of the artwork. It's in great condition, dating back to the period of the late 1800's. The overall diameter of the framed icon is 11.8". The diameter of the glass is 9.1". The diameter of the artwork is 7.5". The icon is in very good antique condition with no damage besides age appropriate wear. Please see the enclosed images as they are part of the condition description.
