Antique devotional crucifix made of mother-of-pearl with appliqués and a figure of Christ in highly worked silver, dated around 1900-1920. The decorated relief ends show religious symbols with "IHS" inscriptions, typical of the Christian iconography of the period.

The body is carved from natural mother-of-pearl, with a subtle luster and patina of age. The ends of the cross are finished in silver with Gothic motifs, and the reverse retains the original mounting holes. Ideal as a pendant, collector's item, or altarpiece.

A historic piece that reflects the spirituality and religious craftsmanship of the turn of the century. Ideal as a gift!

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.

If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
