An exceptional French Art Deco wall-hung benetier holy water font, combining the grandeur of richly veined marble with the elegance of finely cast bronze.

This sacred piece features a dramatic Gothic-arched marble backplate in dark earth-toned breccia, beautifully contrasted by a bronze Holy Spirit dove in full flight and a faceted glass water font.

The intricate craftsmanship of the bronze dove evokes a sense of spiritual peace and movement, while the thick marble slab adds both visual weight and architectural structure.

The faceted glass font bowl is set into a detailed bronze collar, echoing the beading and curvature of early 20th-century design. Complete with a brass hanging loop to the reverse for easy wall mounting.

Whether displayed in a home sanctuary or as part of a devotional collection, this striking piece captures the solemnity and style of the interwar Art Deco period in France.
