Most Stylish Antique Carved Crucifix w. Corpus of Christ Sculpture, Maria Laach

About the Item

Amazingly wall crucifix with hand carved corpus from Kunstwerkstätten der Abtei Maria Laach. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and interesting crucifixes and this here finely carved and stylish specimen is right up there with the finest. To have found one of such beautiful quality and details more than made our day. It is hard to imagine, but this very finely detailed and mildly stylized Christ sculpture is completely hand carved out wood. Thanks to its practical size this crucifix is perfect for home use, but we could also see it grace a niche of a small church or monastery. This very finely carved corpus of Christ is in excellent condition and therefor too great value. Thanks to its amazing patina this meaningful and incredibly well crafted crucifix (and work of religious art) 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. If you appreciate the beauty and workmanship combined with the deeper meaning of this unique and labeled crucifix then maybe you should be its next custodian. You will love our price, especially when taken 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: 15.5 x 9.5 x 2.2 inches. 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).

  • Antique Crucifix with A Unique Tree Trunk Style Wooden Cross & Corpus of Christ
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Unique and perfectly balanced crucifix with a marvelous cross and a detailed corpus of Jesus. This unique design crucifix comes with an incredibly detailed and top quality carved, circular, tree trunk-like cross. We have never seen such a cross before and it must have taken one highly skilled sculptor / artisan a very long time to create. The corpus of Christ too comes with beautiful details and it has the most amazing patina. We have sold some rare and good quality crucifixes over the years and this finely detailed corpus on this rare wooden cross is right up there with the most unique. Some crucifixes come with sculptures of Christ in terrible agony, but the serene face of this Christ reflects nothing but piece and calm. Both alive and deceased He was in a different realm and that is what the sculptor (in our view) has perfectly managed to capture. Have you also noticed the original and stylish INRI sign at the top? Furthermore, this antique crucifix...

  • 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...

  • 19th Century French Hand Carved Polychrome and Painted Life-Size Wall Crucifix
    Located in Dallas, TX
    This important antique carved statue of Christ nailed on the cross was crafted in Lyon, France, circa 1850. Found in a private chapel in the Rhone Valley, the large antique cross features a detailed hand carved sculpture of Jesus nailed on a wooden cross with forged iron nails over his hands and feet. The painted sculpture is well-proportioned, and has realistic details throughout the body, face, and hair. The pediment has the Latin inscription INRI (in John 19:19), which in English translates to "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews", and John 19:20 states that this was written in three languages, Hebrew, Latin, and Greek during the crucifixion of Jesus. The title "King of the Jews" is only used in the New Testament by gentiles, namely by the Magi, Pontius Pilate, and the Roman soldiers. In contrast, the Jewish leaders use the designation "King of Israel". Although the phrase "King of the Jews" is used in most English translations, it has also been translated "King of the Judeans". The life-size religious crucifix...
