Antique Hand Carved Gothic Revival Wall Crucifix w. White Clay Corpus of Christ
About the Item
Gothic style church crucifix with a beautifully detailed clay corpus of Christ.
What makes this stylish crucifix extra special are the Gothic quatrefoil elements that are hand carved on all ends of the cross. However what makes it extra rare is the even more ancient looking white clay corpus. This type of clay was almost always only used to make small pipes in the 1800s and thanks to the way it ages it really looks as if this corpus Christi is from the 1500s. This medieval style combined with the fact that this antique, tiger oak cross has never been waxed/buffed up, makes this religious artifact look truly ancient. To us, this also is a perfectly balanced crucifix with regards to the proportions of the white clay corpus against the larger oak cross. Both the cross and the rare antique corpus (including the mint INRI sign) have never been restored. Apart from a few missing toes on one of Christ's feet, this rare corpus could hardly be in better condition and you can (again) leave it to us to get in to your home safely. From the perfect body posture to the tired and suffering facial expression of Christ and from the intricate carved hairs to the other anotomical details one can tell that this can only be the work of a master craftsman. Mind you, the inner body of this corpus will have metal wires running through it, otherwise it would have probably not survived over 100 years of usage and handling. The top quality of this Christ sculpture and the beautiful contrast against the oak background will never fail to impress. He will stand out even more, no matter where you decide to have this crucifix 'on display' and we expect it to grace the home of a devout Christian or a small church (or monastery) again soon. Especially with the holiday season right on our doorstep.

- Extra Large Crucifix with Hand Carved Oak Corpus of Christ for Church or ChapelLocated in Lisse, NLBeautifully carved and large size corpus of Jesus, made in the Arts & Crafts era. This meaningful and unique crucifix from the early 1900s comes with a larger than life, hand carved oak Corpus of Christ. The details in the anatomy of this Christ are very well carved and they clearly reveal the suffering and dehydration that His body endured in the final days of his life. The artist/sculptor is clearly showing us the image of Jesus when or right after he bowed his head and died. The solid oak cross is original to this corpus and it was given a different color so that the unique and impressive corpus stands out perfectly. Have you also noticed the perfectly carved and thick crown of thorns on the head of Christ. The patina of this excellent condition and large corpus is another great feature that will never fail to impress. The former owners gave us the photo that you see in image 3 in this listing and in it you can see where this antique corpus...Category

- Art Deco Hand Carved Wooden Crucifix with Stunning Bronze Corpus of ChristLocated in Miami, FLCrucifix from the mid-1800s with a carved shroud or veil depicting Christ in the base. This unique and remarkable antique crucifix can both be used as a table and as a wall crucifix. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and very well crafted crucifixes, but never one in the Art Deco style with this combination of materials and techniques. The overall design and size is what stands out first, but the details and the materials are what make this antique work of religious art extraordinary. The relatively large base of this unique crucifix is a work of religious art in its own right. It is almost as if the cross is growing from this beautiful base and the cross itself too comes with a number of superbly inlays details. With their symbolic meaning of birth and resurrection it is obvious why the artist / sculptor so tastefully incorporated them here. Apart from a minor 'lean' to the left, the cross itself too is in excellent condition. If one were to speak of a trinity in this crucifix then the unique base and cross are completed with an equally striking, solid bronze corpus of Christ...Category
