About the Item
Antique Altar Gilt Bronze Crucifix Cross
This antique altar standing crucifix cross, originating from Belgium circa 1900, is a remarkable piece that embodies both artistry and reverence.
Crafted from gilt bronze, the crucifix features a striking depiction of Jesus on the cross, accentuated by a radiant starburst symbolising divine light and glory. The intricate details of the figure are complemented by the presence of two saints flanking the base, alongside the Virgin Mary, creating a powerful tableau that enhances its spiritual significance.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Belgium was renowned for its skilled artisans and craftsmen who produced religious artefacts of exceptional quality. The use of gilt bronze in religious items like this crucifix was common, as it not only provided a luxurious appearance but also symbolised the preciousness of the divine.
Crucifixes have been central to Christian worship and devotion for centuries, serving as powerful symbols of faith and salvation. The inclusion of saints and the Virgin Mary in this piece reflects traditional Catholic iconography, highlighting the importance of these figures in religious practice and art.
The radiant starburst behind the figure of Jesus symbolises divine light and glory, a theme frequently depicted in religious artworks to convey the presence and majesty of God. This crucifix would have been prominently displayed on an altar, serving as a focal point for worship and contemplation.
This piece not only serves as a stunning focal point but also stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the era, making it a cherished addition for collectors and those seeking to enrich their sacred spaces with historical and religious depth.

Stunning & Powerful Altar Crucifix with Detailed Bronze Sculpture of Christ 1912
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique table crucifix and a wonderful work of religious art, dated 1912 and numbered.
For us the most powerful statement will always be 'the truth will set you free'. It is what we have learned most from the life of Christ and of His teachings and it is the one thing we always think about whenever we look at a crucifix. Anyone who has tried to break down his/her ego and found a clearer consciousness in the process knows how healing and rewarding that journey can be. After that you can only be grateful for all the good things that are bound to come your way. Good things will come your way, because the universe needs people like you. Whomever created this amazing work of religious art too must have been inspired and motivated by the life of Christ, because how ever could anyone create a piece that is of such quality, so beautiful and so powerful at the same time. Both the beautifully designed bronze cross with the King of the Jews inscription and the amazingly detailed bronze corpus of Christ are of a quality that you will only rarely find on the open market. They are perfectly mounted on a stunning marble base and together they create one of the most impressive table or altar crucifixes...
