pocket saint from France – medium
I remember when I first discovered these types of pocket saints at a market in Belgium a few years ago – I was instantly smitten! The thought of people carrying one of these saints around in their pockets and sending prayers up to the heavens while rubbing their thumb over the back was just so special.
These pocket saints all came from France and are for sale individually. Please look at the photos and make your selection (A, B, or C) in the drop down menu before adding to your cart.
This listing is for one (1) pocket saint.
A: Madonna almost 1.75" tall
B: Saint Joseph 1.625" tall
C: Madonna and child 1.5" tall

Quevenne lactodensimeter (1)
At first glance this looks like a giant thermometer but it's actually a device to measure the density of milk to see whether cream has been removed or water has been added. It likely was used during cheese making.
This one was found in France and comes with a small wooden box to protect it. The bottom bulb is filled with tiny little granules and there is paper inside the glass tube with a side that reads"écrémé" (skimmed) and "non écrémé" (unskimmed).
I suspect there used to be a lid to this box to cover the upper portion but rest assured I'll package it super safely so it'll arrive in one piece.
SIZE: 6.75" long x 1.125" at its widest part
wood box 4.125" x 1.375" x 1.375"

French photo frame – small (ribbon)
I love this style of old French photo frames. They date back to the late 1800s and add instant charm to anything you place inside them!
This particular one I found in France. It came empty so I added a piece of handwritten notary paper from the mid-1700s but you can easily slide in a photo if you prefer.
At the top is a lovely brass ribbon that's so iconic of this style of frames.
It does have a few condition issues so I've priced it accordingly. Most notably, the leg in the back is missing (but the ring is still there so you can easily hang it) and the thick beveled glass has been chipped in all four corners. Still a lovely piece to use as decoration.
SIZE:
glass 2.75" x 4.25" x almost 0.375"
overall 5.25" tall

candy box with fabric
This lovely old box from France once contained delicious chocolates. The lid depicts an image of Blaise Pascal, a French scientist who lived in the 1600s. The edges of the lid are finished with gilded trim while the sides are covered in a sweet abstract floral fabric. The base and inside of the lid are covered in blue and gold striped paper.
The inside lid reveals that this box was produced by Marquise de Sévigné, a famed chocolatier in Paris that is still in existence today.
While the box does show some signs of age (some water stains on the cover and some general staining inside and along the base of the box), it's still just as sweet as when it was filled with candy!
SIZE: 8" long x 5.25" wide x 1.75" tall
