Antique devotional crucifix made from a mother-of-pearl cross with silver appliques. It features an applied relief figure of Christ, an INRI plaque, and elaborate openwork finials at the four ends, with volutes, vegetal motifs, and small lobed elements. The construction, with metal appliques and visible fixings on the reverse, preserves the handmade character of the piece.

An example of French devotional production from the first quarter of the 20th century. Its decoration combines the vegetal language of Art Nouveau with Neo-Gothic inspired elements typical of religious goldsmithing of the period. The proposed dating to 1910-1920 is consistent with its construction and ornamental repertoire.

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.
