Hanging crucifix made of silver and mother-of-pearl, decorated with openwork Neo-Gothic finials and an applied crucified Christ. The reverse preserves the inscription "22 Mai 1910", which documents its use at the beginning of the 20th century and provides interesting historical and documentary value.

The piece corresponds to the religious production of the Art Nouveau period, a time when historicism remained present in numerous devotional objects. The combination of silver and mother-of-pearl, the ornamental Neo-Gothic inspired finials, and the execution of the Crucified Christ are characteristic features of this type of crosses manufactured in Europe during the early years of the 20th century. The engraved date places its use in 1910, probably as a memento of a religious event.

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.
