Large Catholic Altar or Procession Cross - Crucifix in Gilt Bronze
About the Item
A gilded bronze alloy early 20th century Processional Cross. On the obverse a central Corpus Christi in raw bronze and arms extended wearing a loincloth. Hidden yet partially exposed circular symbol to the left underside of the loincloth. The arms of the cruxifix with decorative finials features the haloed figures representing three of the symbols of the Evangelists – namely an Eagle, lion and Ox representing Saint John – Saint Luke and Saint Matthew.
On the reverse fully decorated and gilded backside a lamb with cross symbolizing innocence and purity adorns in the center. Christ, as the sacrificial lamb, died for the sins of humanity. He was innocent and pure in his life and death. Floral and star-like ornamentation throughout the piece along with the French lily - Fleur - de - lis. A symbol used by the Roman Catholic Church for Virgin Mary.
We believe this piece was made in France in the late 19th or early 20th century. The provenance is unknown. It comes without a stand but the previous owner has applied a wall mount/ and new'er screw through an existing hole enabling it to be wall hung. So nothing has been damaged/altered. It displays so clean and beautiful on a wall and has a substantial presence.

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...

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.

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...
