Hanging crucifix made of silver and mother-of-pearl, decorated with openwork Neo-Gothic finials and an applied crucified Christ. The reverse preserves the inscription "22 Mai 1910", which documents its use at the beginning of the 20th century and provides interesting historical and documentary value.

The piece corresponds to the religious production of the Art Nouveau period, a time when historicism remained present in numerous devotional objects. The combination of silver and mother-of-pearl, the ornamental Neo-Gothic inspired finials, and the execution of the Crucified Christ are characteristic features of this type of crosses manufactured in Europe during the early years of the 20th century. The engraved date places its use in 1910, probably as a memento of a religious event.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
