About the Item

Add a sense of reverence and grandeur to any sacred or decorative space with this highly detailed altar crucifix. Crafted in France circa 1920, and made of spelter with a silver-toned finish, the piece features an expressive figure of Christ upon an elaborately foliated cross, richly adorned with scrolls, acanthus leaves, and floral embellishments. At the center of the cross, the medallion bearing the “INRI” inscription is framed by ornate rosettes and gothic detailing. The shaft is finely decorated and gracefully transitions to an intricately cast base with four claw feet, cabochon accents, and deeply scrolled reliefs that echo Baroque and Rococo influences. The reverse is left plain, showing natural age wear and patina consistent with time and devotional use. In very good condition, this altar crucifix remains structurally sound and visually impressive, making it a striking addition to a private chapel, devotional display, or collection of religious artifacts. 16.5"H

Stunning & Powerful Altar Crucifix with Detailed Bronze Sculpture of Christ 1912
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique table crucifix and a wonderful work of religious art, dated 1912 and numbered. For us the most powerful statement will always be 'the truth will set you free'. It is what we have learned most from the life of Christ and of His teachings and it is the one thing we always think about whenever we look at a crucifix. Anyone who has tried to break down his/her ego and found a clearer consciousness in the process knows how healing and rewarding that journey can be. After that you can only be grateful for all the good things that are bound to come your way. Good things will come your way, because the universe needs people like you. Whomever created this amazing work of religious art too must have been inspired and motivated by the life of Christ, because how ever could anyone create a piece that is of such quality, so beautiful and so powerful at the same time. Both the beautifully designed bronze cross with the King of the Jews inscription and the amazingly detailed bronze corpus of Christ are of a quality that you will only rarely find on the open market. They are perfectly mounted on a stunning marble base and together they create one of the most impressive table or altar crucifixes...
