Description from the seller
This lot is part of my special auction of religious items. Do take a look at the others as well: who knows, you might find the piece that’s missing from your collection or the perfect one to start one!
On this item:
A fine Christ crucifix in silver sheet, repoussé work, with an inner core probably made of plaster.
Spanish manufacture from the first half of the twentieth century. Silver professionally verified by acid testing.
The figure stands out for its refined anatomical rendering, its intense expressiveness, and the splendid patina of the silver. Presented on a background of antique pink velvet, within an imposing shaped frame, richly decorated and gilded, presumably contemporary.
Excellent overall condition. Christ dimensions, 21x15 cm. Overall frame dimensions, 52x40 cm.
Note: The Christ is made of silver sheet repoussé with an inner core probably in plaster. It is therefore not a sculpture in solid silver, but a surface silver layer.
Proper packaging and fast shipping.
