Description from the seller

French 19th-century gilded bronze cross

Important wall cross made in solid gilded bronze, of French manufacture from the end of the 19th century, characterized by an elegant scenographic presence and superior execution quality. The object immediately strikes with its decorative richness and the depth of the reliefs, which attest to careful, non-serial workmanship.
The structure features finely ornamented trilobed terminals with raised floral motifs, typical of the 1800s French decorative taste, while the background is adorned with a refined stamped texture that creates a very pleasant play of light. At the top there is the cartouche “INRI” modeled in relief, while the figure of Christ, well proportioned and with good anatomical rendering, emerges with strong plasticity from the surface, giving the whole a powerful visual and devotional impact.
Particularly interesting is the quality of the solid bronze, confirmed also by the mark “BRONZE” on the back, a detail that underlines the nature of the material and the seriousness of the production. The significant weight of about 370 grams, in relation to the dimensions of 23 x 15.5 x 2 cm, further reinforces the perception of solidity and value.
The gilding, still well preserved, gives warmth and brightness to the object, enhancing every decorative detail and making it ideal both as a devotional object and as an element of decor for classic or eclectic interiors.
The condition is very good, with normal and slight signs of time consistent with the age which do not affect the overall aesthetics, but rather authenticate its historical charm.
An object of great elegance and quality, perfect for collectors of sacred art or for those who wish to insert a strong-character element in an interior setting.

The photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packing entrusted to sector professionals.
