Vintage religious medal dedicated to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, patroness of Toledo, crafted using the traditional damascening technique known as Toledo Gold. Spanish handcrafted piece dating from the 1950s–1960s.

It features a four-lobed silhouette with gold decoration on a black background. The obverse depicts the crowned Virgin of the Blessed Sacrament beneath an architectural arch, surrounded by floral motifs and Baroque-inspired scrolls. The reverse bears the inscription “NTRA. SRA. DEL SAGRARIO DE TOLEDO,” framed by a symmetrical ornamental composition.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
