Description from the seller

Large French antique altar crucifix – Silvered metal (spelter) – circa 1900

Large and impressive antique altar crucifix, dating from around 1890–1910, very likely of French origin.

The crucifix is made of white-silvered metal (spelter / zinc alloy) and features a rich decoration in neo-baroque and neo-Gothic style.
The composition includes:
• The figure of Christ on the cross
• A central medallion depicting the Virgin Mary
• The Sacred Heart motif at the summit
• Finely ornamented cross arms
• A heavy base, richly decorated

The piece is notable for its large size and heavy weight, typical of objects intended for a church or chapel altar.

State:
Good vintage condition, with natural age-related wear, light signs of oxidation and small superficial marks. No missing parts or major repairs.

• Material: silver-colored metal (not solid silver)
• Era: late 19th – early 20th century
Probable origin: France
