18th Century Life Size Christ Figure

19th century
Description

Late 18th Century life size hand carved Christ figure

A life size hand carved 18th Century figure of Christ, we assume of Spanish origin with exceptional hand painted detail. The woven crown of thorns is carved into the head with metal iron spikes. The reverse shows a few support joints that would have allowed this religious artifact to be attached to a wall of sorts. This item is life size carved from what we assume if elm wood and therefore weighs close to 50kg.

Dimensions in inches: H 65” x W 17” x D 12”

Age: Late 18th Century

Origin: Spain

Condition: Aged

Aged wear and tear across all the surfaces due to obvious use over the years. Missing both arms and feet, with a natural aged crack to the rear as shown but this does NOT affect the form in anyway. Worm holes are aged and have also been re-treated just in case. This is a very old item and we have tried to show all the condition as best as possible, please expect imperfections as shown. A courier would be needed to ship this item due to its share size and weight of over 50KG.

We strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase. A direct message usually takes 24 hours to answer.

For multiple years we have sold antique items globally, please expect our items to show relevant age and natural wear, Items only restored due to breaks and major loss, and we always stipulate this in our condition report.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Corpus Christi sculpture refers to a three-dimensional representation of Jesus Christ on the cross, traditionally created for devotional display within churches, chapels, and private shrines.

Figures from this era were predominantly carved from softwoods or hardwoods such as linden, pine, walnut, or oak, before being coated in gesso and decorated using polychrome paint techniques.

Authentic 18th-century carvings feature hand-chiselled tool marks, original gesso layers displaying age-related craquelure, natural shrinkage splits along the wood grain, and historical wear along exposed edges.

An antique carved figure can be displayed as a focal architectural element in an alcove, mounted against a plain neutral wall, or set upon a understated pedestal to create contrast in contemporary spaces.

Keep the sculpture in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and high humidity, dusting gently with a soft dry brush without applying water or chemical solvents.
