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, 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.
