Antique Natural Elephant Ivory Rosary
20th Century · Hand-Carved Angel Skin Ivory · Sterling Silver Tassel
Generous and beautifully weighted, this hand-carved ivory rosary is built around uniform beads of 12.5×10 mm — a substantial size that gives each bead a satisfying presence between the fingers during prayer. The commanding feature bead of 41.5×10 mm anchors the strand with quiet authority, its larger form a natural focal point for contemplation. At 44.1 g, the rosary sits with real substance in the hand — a devotional object of both spiritual and aesthetic distinction.
The ivory displays the warm, blush-toned hue of Angel Skin — among the most prized and delicate colourings in antique ivory — with a surface patina that speaks of decades of careful, reverent use. The strand is finished with a sterling silver tassel, adding a refined ecclesiastical elegance to the piece.
Pristine condition — no chips, no cracks — exceptionally clean given its age. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A one-of-a-kind devotional treasure. Once sold, it is gone forever.
