Antique Art Deco cross with a bone body and silver-plated ornamental applications. It features a relief figure of the crucified Christ, with outstretched arms, a tilted head, and a loincloth rendered in folds. The inscription INRI appears above the figure. The four ends of the cross are protected by octagonal-profile silver mounts, decorated with stylized plant motifs and raised geometric details. It includes a top ring for wearing it suspended.

Crosses of this format were used as objects of personal devotion, both to be worn around the neck and to accompany rosaries and other religious accessories. The combination of bone with silver-plated applications is found in European religious metalwork from the first decades of the 20th century. The geometric profiles of the finials and the stylization of their plant motifs reflect the influence of Art Deco on devotional objects of the period.

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.
