Early 20th Century French Silvered Spelter Crucifix and Removable Figures

About the Item

This striking French crucifix, crafted circa 1920, is made of spelter with a silvered finish and presents a richly detailed depiction of the Crucifixion. At its center is a finely modeled figure of Christ on a radiating cross adorned with relief medallions of the Four Evangelists at each end. Behind the corpus, a dramatic sunburst motif adds spiritual radiance and visual depth. The base is elevated and architectural in design, featuring rounded columns, acanthus scrollwork, and deeply cast biblical scenes in relief. Two removable side figures—likely the Virgin Mary and St. John—stand reverently on either side of the cross, enhancing the devotional presence of the piece. Both figures are cast separately and fit neatly into sockets at the base, allowing for easy disassembly and transport. The reverse of the cross is plain and exhibits signs of age and oxidation, appropriate for a piece of its vintage. In overall good condition with minor surface wear, this silver-coated spelter crucifix remains a powerful symbol of faith and a distinguished example of early 20th-century French religious art. Ideal for display on an altar, mantel, or within a sacred space. 17.5"H

Early 20th Century European Clock Tower Automaton Figures
Located in London, GB
Early 20th century European clock tower automaton figures We are proud to offer an extremely rare set of European clock tower automaton figures, in the form of Persian / Turkish male dressed figures. Dated from the early 20th century, hand carved from wooden sections and detailed in gesso and paint. In completely original condition, later these figures have been secured to a 19th century ebonized wooden base for display purposes. These figures still have their original mechanisms in place, the metal rods extended from their backs, once pulled raise both hands and head, the mechanism is simple and on a pulley system. It is likely these figures would have been part of a larger group, which would have been animated once the clock tower struck upon the hour. This is the first time we have ever been able to obtain artifacts of this nature, and they are exceedingly rare in completely original form. Size in inches: H 24” x W 21” x D 10” Origin: Europe Period: 1900-1920 Material: Wood & Gesso Condition: These items are completely solid in structure and form. Wear is present across all the surfaces which includes crackled paint, worn surfaces, chipped gesso, and faded paint, these items are firmly secured to base pictured. The velour clothing...
