FINEST Gilt-bronze French Rococo Crucifix Cross FRAME Napoleon III - CHRIST:
$599.00
A remarkable specimen of both high rococo form, with crisp detail and glowing gilding, and....also, a fitting celebration of the Cross, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection.
Many years ago, I was a dealer for several years, and, would travel relentlessly, searchingfor the exceptional, the outstanding, the sublime.... Things, such as this piece! The depth anddetail of the bronze frame is most-pleasing, and, that the original gilding is mostly present and stillbright, is, perhaps, something of a.....miracle.
Overall, 18" W x 11" W with good depth, and, fair heft/thickness.
The cross, itself, is 10 3/4" H and the corpus is 6 1/2" H.Even the cross, itself, has etched wood-graining....
The corpus, and titulus, appear to be bronze.
Couldn't effectively capture the effect, but, when shining a flashlight on the frame, the high pointson the frame {and cross} detail generate a 'jewelled' reflective effect. Just magnificent...
Please note that the 2nd and 3rd photos show the true colortone...!
Please, feel free to ask any questions prior to offerding/buying.
** This will be a fair net lo$$, at the listed price (before absorbing the shipping cost), and, given that I prize the piece, I'm not sure that I will be reducing/making offers, etc. Indeed.....you may wish you had acted, before I end the listing...:)
