Génie du seuil - Gold vermeil
The threshold is the first sacred element of the home and the initial barrier that repels hostile forces. A place of passage, it also symbolizes the boundary between the world of the living and that of the dead. In ancient folk beliefs, certain domestic animals embodied this proximity between the two realms.
The horse, tasked with carrying souls to the afterlife, was closely associated with household spirits. Stables were traditionally inhabited by guardian spirits who, if in good spirits themselves, would groom and braid the horses’ manes during the night. The rooster, charged with driving away malevolent spirits, was often kept in the stables to protect the horses from evil forces.
The medallion depicts a door adorned with a horse, topped by a rooster. It conveys the idea of a protective barrier while also inviting one to cross the threshold into the unknown without fear.
