This altar cross dates from 1940 in the Rococo Revival style. It is made from silver-coloured metal with a polished finish and displays intricate ornamentation throughout the structure. The crucifix figure occupies the central intersection, surrounded by detailed scrollwork and foliage motifs along the vertical and horizontal bars. Each of the four arm extremities terminates in a distinct shell motif, while two kneeling angels flank the lower section near the junction with the stem. The piece stands upon an elaborate moulded pedestal base that incorporates architectural windows and scroll details. The entire structure rises to a height of 42 cm with an 18 cm span across the arms. Placed upon a mantelpiece or a side table in a contemporary home, this decorative metal object serves as an eye-catching focal point for display within a traditional interior setting.

FAQs

Standing altar crosses gained widespread use during the medieval and Renaissance periods, becoming central fixtures on church altars and private domestic shrines to focus devotional contemplation.

Antique altar crosses were typically manufactured from cast brass, bronze, silver, or silver-plated white metal, often featuring detailed repousse work or cast figurative elements.

Genuine period pieces often exhibit visible casting seams, hand-chased details, soft wear on high points, maker stamps, and natural oxidisation within deep relief areas.

Incorporate the piece onto a curated mantelpiece, quiet bookshelf nook, or styled console table alongside antique leather books and natural foliage to add texture and historical contrast.

Remove surface dust with a soft, lint-free cloth, avoiding harsh chemical metal polishes that can wear down original silver plating or strip aged patina from low relief areas.
