Antique Gothic Revival Silvered Bronze Crucifix with a Gilt Bronze Corpus Christ

About the Item

Good size and impressive make, Gothic church altar crucifix. This ornate and all hand-crafted, bronze table crucifix comes with a good quality made and finely detailed, gilt bronze corpus of Christ. This former church altar table crucifix is decorated with several other meaningful Gothic elements as well. The stylized, golden ray of light halo behind Christ being one of them. We know that this can only have been owned by a church (or monastery), because this would have been a very expensive relic. Since churches were among the most financially sound institutions, they were able to afford an ornate and very- expensive-to-create piece like this. The fact that it is possible (and even obligatory) to screw this cross onto a table also is an indication that this crucifix was once in a church where it would have been protected against opportunist thieves. If you are a private collector and/or a devout enthousiast and you don't want it srewed into a table then you can also decide to place this unique crucifix on a wooden base. The amazing details and interesting history behind its design also make this former church relic a unique talking piece. The quality, rarity, class, beauty and deeper meaning of this crucifix ofcourse come in first place and if you already have a place or space in mind for it then maybe you should be its next custodian. Our fair price for this rare crucifix (in which the hands of Jesus indicate that He is giving us His blessing) even includes perfect packing & worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Measures: Maximum height x width x depth crucifix: 21.5 x 10.6 x 5.2 inches.

    Located in Lisse, NL
    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...

  • Crucifix on Calvary, Called Plague of Christ, France, Early 18th Century
    Located in Milan, IT
    Crucifix 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...
