Icon of Virgin Mary Lakkosketiotissa

This silver and gold plated electroformed copper icon stands at the crossroads of devotional art and collectible European craftsmanship, drawing on galvanoplastic techniques that traditionally shaped sculptural metalwork of exceptional refinement.

The Mother of God and Child emerge in a solemn post-Byzantine idiom, their features hand-painted in oil with quiet depth and fidelity to canonical tradition. Gilded halos adorned with Bohemia crystals introduce a subtle luminosity that enriches the composition.

Encased in a dark, toned oak frame with side hinges reminiscent of portable kiots, and enhanced by engraved medieval motifs, the piece exudes both spiritual presence and curatorial sophistication. A distinguished acquisition for connoisseurs of sacred art and collectors seeking works with both historical resonance and contemporary craftsmanship.
