Description from the seller

Refined wall-mounted bronze holy-water font depicting the Crucified Christ with the inscription “INRI”, flanked by two adorant angels kneeling at the foot of the Cross.

The composition is balanced and harmonious, of clear Neoclassical inspiration, with idealized figures and well-defined plastic modeling. The details of the angels' wings and the anatomy of Christ are particularly refined, rendered with sobriety and composure.

The lower basin, integrated into the structure, shows natural patina and light oxidations coherent with its age, which confer charm and authenticity to the whole.

A devotional object with strong scenographic presence, originally intended for domestic use or private chapel.

PERIOD
XX century
STYLE
Religious Neoclassicism / 19th-century Revival

CONDITIONS
Good overall condition.
Original patina with surface oxidations compatible with age and use.
No obvious structural breaks.
