About the Item

18th century Italian holy water font with two angels framed with polished agate coral wings on fossil coral.  The Italian holy water front is from a historical Italian church and is made from gesso and marble dust. It is framed with the fossil agate coral which is Florida's state stone and is known for its unique formation that can take place over 20 million years. It's a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The fossil agate coral and Italian angels are put together in a sculptural form - creating a work of art to grace any wall or space.
