Description from the seller
Elegant antique wall crucifix – carved wood in Baroque style and polychrome Christ – 20th century
This refined wall crucifix is put up for auction, a decorative piece with notable presence and devotional character, combining a wooden cross in Baroque style with a detailed relief figure of Christ, finely polychromed.
The cross, with sinuous lines and classic ornamentation, evokes traditional Baroque aesthetics, while the figure of Christ stands out for its expressiveness and careful execution, with a polychromy that adds realism and depth.
This type of piece was highly appreciated in European homes during the first half of the 20th century, for both its spiritual value and its elegant decor. Today, it represents an excellent opportunity for collectors of sacred art or for those seeking a distinctive, storied element.
- Period: First half of the 20th century (approx. 1900–1960)
- Materials: Wood (cross) and plaster/resin figure, polychromed
- Technique: Semi-handicraft production with hand-painted finish
- Origin: Europe
- Condition:
Good overall condition for its age. It shows slight signs of use and small losses or wear to the polychromy, which do not affect its overall aesthetics.
A piece with great decorative presence, increasingly hard to find in this state.
- Shipping:
Professional and secure packaging, with special care given the delicate nature of the piece.
