Dutch Figurative Sculptures

Rare crucifix and a wonderful Art Deco work of religious art. Made and marked by Brom, Utrecht. Brom of Utrecht was a family (or dynasty) of goldsmiths in the Dutch city of Utrecht and they were known for creating some of the best ecclesiastical art that was available in the second half of the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century (from 1856 to 1961 to be exact). They were both designers and manufacturers and, as it goes with truly good makers, they also attracted the interest of other top designers from that era. Those other top designers needed a company to handcraft their top quality designs and Brom of Utrecht was one of the 'go-to' companies for many decades. One of those designers was Steph Uiterwaal and we attribute this Brom-made crucifix to him.
