Description from the seller

Vintage Florentine Gilt Wooden Icon after Cimabue’s Santa Croce Crucifix

Beautiful vintage Florentine icon inspired by the celebrated medieval Santa Croce Crucifix by Cimabue, originally painted around 1275.

This decorative piece is a second half of the 20th-century print reproduction, applied onto a shaped wooden support and enriched with traditional Florentine-style gilded decoration. The surface features warm gold tones, ornamental tooled/graffito motifs, craquelure effects and an aged patina, giving the object a refined antique appearance.

The icon is a fine example of Florentine devotional craftsmanship, made in the spirit of the traditional giltwood and gouache decorative techniques for which Florence is well known.

The cross measures 26 x 23 cm, with a thickness of approximately 3 cm. It retains its hanging fixture on the reverse.

The piece is in good overall vintage condition, with visible signs of age, wear, small losses and abrasions, all consistent with its decorative character and adding to its charm and authenticity.

It will be carefully packed and shipped with registered tracked delivery.
