Vintage French Ebony & Silver‑Tone Rosary – Signed Ebony France – Black Boxwood Beads – 1950s Devotional Necklace

A classic vintage French rosary crafted with smooth black boxwood oval beads and silver‑tone metal links, culminating in a dark crucifix signed Ebony France. The medal bears the Virgin Mary on one side and, on the reverse, the traditional Marian symbol — a cross above the letter M, flanked by two hearts: one pierced by a sword, the other bound by a chain, each crowned. The design shows gentle devotional wear, softening the relief but preserving its sacred beauty.

Likely dating to the 1950s or earlier, this piece carries the quiet patina of prayer and time. The cross remains in very good condition, with light surface wear consistent with age and use.
