Antique French Champleve Enamel and Slate Marble Holy Font, Napoleon III Era Grisaille this is a huge waferAlways drawn to these, and we can never keep them in inventory. The beautiful old champleve enamel work always reminds me of the stained glass in the old cathedrals of France. This one is beautiful and exceptionally well preserved. Lots of photos to review. The backing is crisply cut slate marble, heavy and without a single chip or flaw. The holy font is 9. 5" tall. Very good to excellent condition for age and type, we don't often find these without
