Large Antique French Catholic altar standing crucifix
This large, stunning Main Alter crucifix was purchased from a Parisian market over 20years ago. This piece has been at the centre of my religous items collection for many years, but after much debate I’ve agreed to let it go.
Dating from circa 1890/1910 this gorgeous piece features a wooden body highlighted with brass.
The cross features a detailed figure of Jesus Christ centred on the cross under a traditional "INRI" banner scroll, and a radiant sunburst halo emanates behind the intersection of the cross, symbolizing divine light and glory.
The cross is mounted onto a substantial, tiered, dome-shaped baluster pedestal base designed to keep it stable on a church sanctuary altar or home devotional table.
A large, rare, antique Crucifix that would look great in any home, or must have piece for collectors of religous items.
