Early 19th Century Giltwood and Gesso Large Italian Religious Cross

About the Item

This heavy, hand carved wooden cross, with applied gesso and gilding is stunning, Italian and dating to the turn of the 18th/19th centuries. 163cm height, 103cm width, 12cm depth We assume this was either a processional cross or more likely given its weight and size, a static central focal point within a church or monastery. There are no fixings on the cross we have hung
