Crucifix - silvered metal - Early 20th century - 38.5 cm

Ancient and elegant silvered metal altar crucifix, likely dating from the early 20th century, around 1900–1920.

The crucifix features a detailed representation of Christ on the cross, surrounded by rich vegetal ornamentation consisting of leaves and branches. The cross bears a wood-like decoration as well as an INRI cartouche at its top.

The whole rests on an imposing pedestal richly worked in the Baroque/Rococo style, adorned with volutes, floral motifs and foliage. The base rests on four splayed feet.

The construction is hollow, typical of decorative and religious objects made in die-cast and silvered metal from this period. The cross is assembled to the base by mechanical fasteners.

Beautiful old religious object, particularly decorative, which could have been intended for an altar, a private chapel or domestic devotion.
