Gothic Dragons Base Wrought Iron Altar Crucifix with Bronze Sculpture of Christ
About the Item
Unique table crucifix and a stunning work of religious art.
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 you way, because the universe needs people like you. Both the beautifully designed and sizable wrought iron cross and the antique bronze corpus of Christ have an amazing patina and together they make this meaningful antique a true work of beauty. We had never before seen a wrought iron table cross and because of the coldness of the material and because it can be extremely time consuming to make one, it is not the first material of choice for most craftsman. However, when it is done with this kind of top quality workmanship then that changes everything. The sharpness of the details and the symmetry of the execution of this cross are second to none and what takes this Gothic altar cross to the next level are the Gothic dragon-like gargoyles. You must really be a master blacksmith to hand-forge and hand-hammer three such detailed, aesthetically amazing and perfectly matching dragon head sculptures out of a bar of iron of almost an inch thick. Besides the great looking mouths with teeth and flame-like tongues, there even are detailed scales in the back of their necks. You just don't find this level of workmanship anymore. This truly is turn of the century European craftsmanship at its finest and we were immediately sold when we first saw it. From the design of the, original to this cross and equally perfect, bronze corpus of Christ we could immediately see that this unique crucifix was created in the European Arts and Crafts era (circa 1890-1910). With it being almost as high as your dinner table and weighing 17.5 pounds lbs, in real life, this antique is even more impressive than in our images. Also because of the striking details and patina of the corpus of Christ, this truly is a stunning and impressive work of religious art that will never cease to impress you or anyone visiting. This antique European crucifix makes a great gift for yourself, but also for a devout loved one.

- Crucifix on Calvary, Called Plague of Christ, France, Early 18th CenturyLocated in Milan, ITCrucifix on Calvary, called 'Pestis Christi' or Crucifiix Pestis 'Plague of Christ' or Plague Crucifix). The sculpture is composite, made with heterogeneous materials: wax, wood, papier-mâché. The octagonal base is slightly raised and supports the calvary, symbolized by rocks, from which the crucifix rises, made with intentionally unfinished boards and with marked veins. The depicted Christ is peculiar: he shows scarified skin all over his body. Masterfully crafted in wax. They are the plagues of the plague that Christ, 'Agnus Dei' takes charge of with salvific value, for the salvation of the world. At his feet the ordeal full of symbols: evil (snake) with the apple, the 'Memento mori' of human bones...Category
