About the Item

A refined holy water font features a finely detailed crucifix, portraying Christ in a traditional posture of sacrifice and serenity. At its center stands a finely cast bronze figure of Christ crucified, mounted on a cloisonné cross. The cross features rich blue and gold floral enamel work in the cloisonné technique, a labor-intensive process that enhances both the texture and luminosity of the design. The font is set against a smooth white alabaster backdrop, framed by a gilt border inlaid with matching cloisonné motifs. At the base, the holy water basin echoes the ornate detailing. Dated on the back: May 14 1896. Made in France. All in good condition. No damage. Beautiful old patina. Dimensions: 36 x 21 cm Free shipping worldwide

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...
