This is a very large and beautiful Antique alter crucifix cross. It’s in great overall condition considering its age. I believe it should be from the mid late 1800s judging from how it is constructed and the general patina on it. It is quite light for its size, but it is made out of brass. I believe that the brass was either cast or hammered into its current shape. There is a light crack at the base of one of the feet and the cross sits a little bit crooked. Also the cross threads into the main body, and that is also a little bit loose. I have not messed with it too much, and I believe that it can be straightened out and mounted more solid, but I do not want to mess with it as it is quite a nice old Antique. I believe that it also had a cross mounted within the frame at one point, but it was probably removed due to import for export reasons or maybe for another reason.

Beautifull crucifix with the matching 2 candlesticks. This set is branded JMPC made in Belgium. Belgium is a small country in Europe next to France. This stunning set would be a real eye-catcher in your interior. The set is in good condition, just one leg from the Crucifix has a little dent, see detail pictures. It is made in Zamak: Zamak (formerly trademarked as ZAMAK and also known as Zamac) is a family of alloys with a base metal of zinc and alloying elements of aluminium, magnesium, and copper. I’ve made a picture with a wine bottle next to it so that you have an idea of the size. The bottle is not included. If you are looking for something real special for your home then you have just found it. Dimensions in inch and cm from the Crucifix. 14.17 inch or 36 cm high. 4.92 or 12.5 cm wide. 4.92 inch or 12,5 cm deep. Dimensions in inch and cm from the candlesticks. 4.92 inch or 12,5 cm high. 3.93 or 10 cm wide. Prayer and Contemplation: A crucifix helps Catholics focus their contemplation on Christ. Many saints, like St. Catherine of Siena and Joan of Arc, found solace in gazing at the crucifix during prayer and suffering. It connects us to Christ’s sacrifice. Facing Difficult Times: Just as St. John stayed with Jesus during His crucifixion, we can draw strength from a crucifix during challenging moments. It reminds us of love and compassion even in adversity. Creating a Domestic Church: By having a crucifix at home, we transform our space into a domestic church. It symbolizes the presence of God, love, and forgiveness passed down through generations. God’s Love and Sacrifice: The crucifix constantly reminds us of Jesus’ victory over sin and evil. It reflects God’s immense love, as He sacrificed His Son for humanity’s salvation. Look at all the pictures, they are part of the discription. We make all pictures outdoors so colour may be a bit different. We make a very solid package so the item will arive in perfect condition.
