Vintage Notre-Dame de la Paix Religious Brooch – French Catholic Devotional Badge on Red Cross

A charming vintage French Catholic devotional piece featuring a silver-tone oval medallion dedicated to Notre-Dame de la Paix — Our Lady of Peace.

The central relief depicts the Virgin Mary, with the inscription “NOTRE-DAME DE LA PAIX” surrounding the image. The lower part of the medallion bears an additional inscription, partially worn but visible in the photographs.

The medallion is mounted on a small red textile cross, creating an unusual and highly distinctive devotional object. The reverse reveals the original textile construction together with a metal fastening pin, indicating that the piece was designed to be worn or attached as a devotional badge or brooch.

The combination of the red textile cross, raised religious medallion and aged metal gives this piece considerable vintage character.

A particularly interesting item for collectors of French Catholic devotional objects, religious medals, Marian devotion and vintage ecclesiastical memorabilia.
