Crucifix Vintage French Style Brass Metal Sacred Heart Cross

A striking Vintage French brass and metal crucifix, beautifully decorated with a sculpted figure of Jesus Christ, elaborate scrolling finials and dramatic golden rays radiating behind the cross. Its combination of warm brass tones, silver-toned metalwork and intricate religious ornamentation creates a distinctive decorative piece with traditional French character. Offered in Good vintage condition, this crucifix displays attractive aged patina and richly detailed craftsmanship. 🌟 Design & Decorative Details This impressive French crucifix features a detailed figure of Jesus Christ with outstretched arms, a crown of thorns and carefully sculpted drapery. Above the figure sits a prominent INRI inscription on a curved decorative plaque. The cross is enhanced by ornate scrolling finials at the top and ends of the horizontal arms, while delicate raised floral patterns extend along its central stem. Behind the crucifix, a dramatic arrangement of elongated gold-toned rays creates a striking sunburst effect, providing an attractive contrast against the aged silver-toned figure and decorative cross. The lower section incorporates a distinctive brass-coloured spherical ornament encircled by a curved metal band. Below this, an elaborate arrangement of overlapping leaves and textured, scale-like motifs adds further depth and decorative interest. The circular stepped base is particularly appealing, featuring a raised Sacred Heart emblem surrounded by golden radiating rays. The darker aged finish around the lower pedestal provides a beautiful contrast to the brighter metalwork above. With its impressive height and elaborate ornamentation, this crucifix makes an attractive focal point for a traditional interior, religious display or collection of Vintage French decorative objects. 📦 Condition ✅ Good vintage condition, with visible aged patina, surface marks and areas of darkened finish, particularly around the lower pedestal and decorative metalwork. ✅ The crucifix retains its ornate detailing and distinctive religious decoration, with the photographs clearly showing its present appearance and signs of age. 📐 Dimensions 📏 Height: 53.0 cm 📏 Diameter: 16.0 cm 🪑 Key Features ✅ Vintage French brass and metal crucifix ✅ Detailed sculpted figure of Jesus Christ ✅ Traditional INRI inscription above the figure ✅ Dramatic gold-toned sunburst rays behind the cross ✅ Ornate scrolling finials with decorative raised patterns ✅ Attractive combination of brass and silver-toned metalwork ✅ Slender central stem with intricate foliate detailing ✅ Distinctive spherical ornament with curved metal band ✅ Elaborate leaf and textured scale-like decoration ✅ Sacred Heart emblem surrounded by golden rays ✅ Decorative circular stepped pedestal with aged patina ✅ Freestanding design suitable for religious displays and traditional interiors 🧩 Delivery Information 🚚 Delivery arrangements are as specified in the listing details. 📦 The crucifix will be carefully packed and protected for transit. ✨ Explore my other listings for unique, hand-picked Antique and Vintage furniture, religious ornaments and decorative collectables. 📌 Lot Number: 6644
