Description

A superbly modelled large silver plate Christ on the Cross wall mounting. It is silver plated and marks DEPOSE DLN 145. Depose meaning patent protected was used on French pieces from the 1880's until c1930's, I would date this to c1890. It's the kind of piece that would have once been used in a church or more likely a convent. It has been beautifully modelled and finely cast and is in super condition being free from dings splits and repairs. All the silver plate is original and complete. It measures approx. 16 inches (40.6cm) long by 10 inches (15.6cm) wide and weighs 1042g grams. A very high quality example.

FAQs

Late 19th-century French ecclesiastical crucifixes were commonly produced during the Third Republic, a period marked by a strong revival in religious manufacturing and church furnishing across France.

These items were typically constructed from a base metal, such as brass or spelter, finished with a heavy silver plate. Techniques often involved detailed metal casting combined with hand-chased surface ornamentation.

Authenticity is determined by examining the weight, construction joints, patination of the silver plating, and traditional makers marks or foundry stamps typically located on the reverse side.

An antique crucifix can be mounted on a plain wall as a focal point within a dark academia or eclectic scheme, allowing the metallic texture and historic craftsmanship to stand out against minimalist surroundings.

Silver-plated items should be dusted gently with a soft, dry cloth. Chemical dips and abrasive polishes must be avoided to preserve the original plating and historical patination.
