Au Petit Trianon, sourcing antique and vintage treasureshere in France for you and your home Superb Antique French Crucifix and Holy Water Font
~ Napoleon III Period ~
... Scroll down for lots more images below the text This superb crucifix dates from the mid 1800s ; it came to me with an attic clearance in a maison bourgeoise here in the Perche region of Normandie.The main body is a cross with splayed points made from ebonised wood, typical of the Napoleon III style. This carries a smaller cross, bearing a finely detailed figure of Christ in silvered spelter. The points of the cross are adorned with ornate repoussé tolework motifs ; a richly worked holy water font sits beneath.
I have left this as found with its patina of age, but it would clean as required. In good general antique condition, there are a few minor imperfections to the tolework motifs and a small mark on the secondary cross. (please view all images below).A superb and genuine antique item which would make a rich and authentic addition to your collection or dsplays !
Measurements : height 30 cms (just under 12 ins) - width 17 cms (6.75 ins)
