Antique Large Folk Art Handcrafted Wooden Fretwork Crucifix or Cross and Stand
About the Item
This extremely detailed and ornately handcrafted wooden Folk Art Crucifix is unsigned, but presumed to have been made in Eastern Europe, possibly Austria, in circa 1920. The cross and Stand are both intricately cut and carved of a softwood and a plated cast Jesus figure has been added. The body of the cross is done with fretwork vines and leaves and a stylized Sun's rays surrounding Jesus. The ends of the arms and the top are also detailed with fretwork leaves and scrollwork. The cross is composed of two pieces of wood, joined with notches in a primitive Folk Art manner. The base is a series of panels of cut and carved fretwork which are fitted and nailed to form the pedestal styled base. This is a fairly large and well executed Folk Art Crucifix standing just of twenty-one inches in height and in very good period condition.

Over the centuries wall crucifixes have been made in all kinds of sizes and shapes, but the ones from the Art Deco Era seem to be the most distinctive in style. This 1920s wall crucifix is small in size, but the straight lined, geometrical cross, the stylised Gothic halo and the relatively straight lined body of Christ tell us that it was clearly from the European Art Deco era.

- Antique Crucifix with A Unique Tree Trunk Style Wooden Cross & Corpus of ChristLocated in Lisse, NLUnique and perfectly balanced crucifix with a marvelous cross and a detailed corpus of Jesus. This unique design crucifix comes with an incredibly detailed and top quality carved, circular, tree trunk-like cross. We have never seen such a cross before and it must have taken one highly skilled sculptor / artisan a very long time to create. The corpus of Christ too comes with beautiful details and it has the most amazing patina. We have sold some rare and good quality crucifixes over the years and this finely detailed corpus on this rare wooden cross is right up there with the most unique. Some crucifixes come with sculptures of Christ in terrible agony, but the serene face of this Christ reflects nothing but piece and calm. Both alive and deceased He was in a different realm and that is what the sculptor (in our view) has perfectly managed to capture. Have you also noticed the original and stylish INRI sign at the top? Furthermore, this antique crucifix...Category
