SOLD Antique 17th century Baroque Crucifix with Gilt Bronze Corpus Christi

The intricately crafted gilt-bronze Corpus Christi boasts finely chased details that lend a sense of realism to the piece. The crucifix is mounted on a black ebony wood cross fitted with brass terminals, creating a stunning contrast against the golden figure of Christ.

The cross stands on a turned base that is weighted at the bottom with a shaped lead plate, ensuring its stability. This antique 17th-century European Baroque Crucifix is a true work of art, and its timeless beauty will continue to captivate for generations to come.
