Unique Fine Table Altar Crucifix with Bronze Sculptures of Christ, Mary and John

About the Item

Large and exceptional work of religious art. If you are a collector of truly exceptional church artefacts then this early 20th century altar piece could be perfect for you. With church related antiques as one of our specialties we know that you will rarely find a better quality altar crucifix from this era. Both the corpus of Christ and the sculptures of Mary and Saint John mourning on either side are of a quality and beauty that is unsurpassed and you just don't find this kind of beauty and quality on the open market. The flowing, Art Nouveau style of the posture of Mary and John too tell us that this piece was created around 1900-1910. The small bronze maker's plaque at the bottom right tells us that this unique church relic was made by A.H. Haan of Antwerp, but unfortunately we don't know the name of the artist who designed the amazing bronze sculptures. The plaque also reads 'ornements d'eglise' which means church ornaments and it is clear they were specialists and top quality makers. This unique and handcrafted crucifix of considerable size and weight is in excellent condition and its quality and condition makes it suitable for the most beautiful of churches and monasteries. The details of the draped clothes, the depth in the bronze, the beautiful body and face of Christ and the amazing patina against the brass and oak background are some of the stunning elements that make this crucifix very impressive. Together they give even more weight to its profound meaning. This antique is great value for money. Also, because our price includes perfect packing and worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 46.4 x 33.75 x 6 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by.

  • 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...
