We are happy to offer for your consideration, a lovely wood, and brass monastic antique rosary from France. This rosary was made in the late 1800s out of brass with brown wooden beads. The center metal features an M for the Marian signature . This rosary is a large size hand held rosary measuring measuring 27 inches in length and is complete with all of its beads and medals.

It is in good antique condition. This rosary has clearly been loved and prayed with for a very long time. If you look at the medals, you will see the wear of thousands of Hail Marys and our fathers. Even the metal attached which is miraculous metal is well worn. This only happens when an item has been prayed with and prayed with and prayed with. That makes it very special . It’s an incredible rosary, which has been loved for a very long time, but is looking for a new owner to pray with it.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

What is a monastery or a monastic rosary:

In the course of a year, we will only have to offer a limited number of these rosaries. They are normally larger than the typical rosary the types that were carried by nuns and priest and religious brothers but also by third orders about 100 years ago and prior.

Often these rosaries are very well worn with well loved medals. They have been prayed with for a very long time. They are a little more expensive because they usually require extensive repair to bring them back to life. Many arrive to us with broken beads, missing parts and a lot of detail work and cleaning needed. We do not just throw these away but rather take the time we need to bring them back to life but still try to leave them looking like they have been well loved as is appropriate. Owning one of these is a treasure much more so than owning a brand new rosary or really fancy rosary that has never been used. These have been a tool for prayer often for well over 100 years. That is precious and rare.

We ask that if you were going to purchase one of these rosaries that you make sure that it continues to be in used as an object of prayer or on display for others to admire. Thank you for helping us continue this legacy.
