Description from the seller
Antique crucifix – Christ on the brass cross, with an elegant presence, enhanced by a circular decorative surround adorned with polychrome cabochons (blue, green and red).
The figure of Christ is finely carved, with detailed work on the features, the drapery, and the posture, characteristic of religious works from the late 19th or early 20th century.
State
To report transparently.
Top portion missing: fleur-de-lis absent.
Even old brass patina, uniform, with traces of time (verdigris) and use, without weakening the structure.
The colored cabochons are in place (see photos)
These elements do not affect the stability or readability of the object and contribute to its authenticity.
Dimensions
Height: 49 cm
Width: 23.5 cm
Depth: 16 cm
Weight: about 1.8 kg
About the piece
That crucifix combines traditional Christian symbolism with an elaborately decorative composition, featuring an openwork circle dotted with colored cabochons. The fleur-de-lis, at the ends, reinforces the religious and spiritual iconography of the piece as a whole and its monarchist character (a symbol of French royalty).
The patina on the brass testifies to an object that has stood the test of time, maintaining a strong and solemn presence.
An antique crucifix, decorative and expressive, ideal for a collector of religious art, an enthusiast of liturgical objects, or as a distinctive piece in an interior, despite a reported defect at the top.
Careful and protective shipping
Kind regards
