Large Antique Hand Carved Nutwood Church Crucifix w. Corpus of Christ Sculpture

About the Item

Perfectly hand carved corpus with a great patina. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and interesting crucifixes, but we had not yet come across an antique crucifix with a corpus of Christ with both hands showing the two finger symbol. The 'Old Believers' considered the two-fingered symbol to symbolize the dual nature of Christ as divine and human. The remaining three fingers in the palm representing the Trinity. To have found one of such beautiful quality and details more than made our day. Apart from some old (and inactive) woodworm holes and one reglued index finger this stunningly carved AND patinated corpus could not be in better condition. Thanks to its larger than average size this crucifix is ideal for use in a monastery and church as well. We can really see it grace a niche of a church or monastery. Thanks to its amazing patina this meaningful and incredibly well crafted crucifix could not be more beautiful. You know how they say that the lord works in mysterious ways, well to us it always is a mystery how people could be so gifted that they were capable of creating something with their hands that looks so natural and beautiful. The beauty that radiates from such workmanship makes this crucifix an even more powerful statement piece than it already is. Thanks to the brass hook with the handforged nails on the back, mounting this crucifix could not be any easier. If you truly appreciate the beauty and the artisanship combined with the deeper meaning of this unique and large size crucifix then maybe you should be its next custodian. You will love our price. Especially when taking into account that perfect packing and worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 43 x 23 x 5.3 inches. Weight: 3.1 kilogram or 6.8 pounds lbs. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

  • Baroque Style Hand Carved Wooden Crucifix with Stunning Bronze Corpus of Christ
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Crucifix from the mid-1800s with a carved shroud or veil depicting Christ in the base. This unique and remarkable antique crucifix can both be used as a table and as a wall crucifix. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and very well crafted crucifixes, but never one in the Baroque style with this combination of materials and techniques. The overall design and size is what stands out first, but the details and the materials are what make this antique work of religious art extraordinary. With four angels (or putti) watching over a sculpture of the Veil of Veronica, the relatively large base of this unique crucifix is a work of religious art in its own right. It is almost as if the cross is growing from this beautiful base and the cross itself too comes with a number of superbly hand carved details. To us, the most remarkable are the three stunning Baroque shells. With their symbolic meaning of birth and resurrection it is obvious why the artist / sculptor so tastefully incorporated them here. Apart from a minor 'lean' to the left, the cross itself too is in excellent condition. If one were to speak of a trinity in this crucifix then the unique base and cross are completed with an equally striking, solid bronze corpus of Christ...

This bronze sculpture of Christ clearly depicts Jesus just shortly after the suffering has ended and His body could no longer hold on to life.
