Cross - Spelter - 1900-1910 - Calvary cross - 45 cm

Antique French High Altar Cross / Calvary Cross with removable saints – Neo-Gothic – ca. 1900 (2 kg) Magnificent and very detailed antique Catholic altar cross (Calvary cross) from France, dating from around 1890–1910 (high days of Neo-Gothic / Jugendstil). This richly decorated crucifix depicts a classic Calvary scene with Jesus Christ on the cross. Very special about this specific model is that it features the two original, removable saint figures that can be placed on consoles on the shaft. On the reverse side the original French mark "DEP." (Modèle Déposé) is sharply and clearly cast, which guarantees the authenticity and the legally registered design from that period. The cross is decorated with various religious symbols, including the Greek letters Alpha (A) and Omega (Ω) and the Chi-Rho monogram (XP). The ends of the cross show the symbols of the four Evangelists. The object is cast from a heavy, solid and non-magnetic zinc alloy (spiater/zamak) and provided with an original, glossy silver-plated/nickel-plated top layer. Specifications and condition: • Origin: France (furnished with DEP. mark) • Period: ca. 1890 - 1910 • Height: ca. 44 - 45 cm • Weight: 1983 grams (substantial, heavy quality piece) • Material: Silver-plated / nickel-plated spiater (non-magnetic) • Condition: In good antique state with lovely patina. The two loose figures are fully intact. As is usual with objects of this age, there is a light wear to the top layer visible (see last photo). No cracks or restorations. A beautiful, complete and atmospheric piece of religious heritage for the collector or as a unique decorative object.
