This charming antique wall cross features intricate micro-mosaic (tessellated) work that forms decorative architectural details at the ends—each terminal shaped for a refined, decorative silhouette.

Centered on a rich blue glass tile panel with a floral motif, the cross is topped with a raised relief corpus, giving the piece a beautiful, dimensional feel. Along the lower portion, the word “Roma” completes the story—evoking the spirit of souvenir devotional pieces created for collectors and travelers who wanted a tangible reminder of Rome during the late 1800's early 1900's.

The silver-tone frame and back hold everything securely in place, and while a few tiny mosaic elements are missing (very discreet and not striking when displayed), the overall presentation remains lovely and well-preserved for its age.

Perfect for a gallery wall, entryway, or sacred corner—this is the kind of piece that sparks conversation the moment someone notices its details.
