18th C. Magnificent Carved Processional CROSS- European
<BR>
ORNATE carving- Gold Gilt- STUNNING
<P>
This magnificent Antique processional cross was discovered in Southern France, but it is likely Italian in origin. The carved and gilded cross is large and dramatic; it dates from the late 18th C. (c.1800). Both side of the cross are ornately carved, the entire piece covered in a traditional gesso slip and finished with gold gilt. The effect is captivating. Newly mounted on a stone base with an iron pin, the piece has a dramatic sculptural appeal.
<P>
The cross wonderful condition, still bearing its original gold gilt, that remains surprisingly luminous. There are expected signs of age and gentle wear, adding to the pieces great sense of antiquity. A few small ornaments appear to be later replacements and there are some chips in the gilt that were touched-up over the years, but all are small and very inconspicuous, but bear mentioning.
<p>
The mounted cross measures approximately: 32" ht. x 20" w. ( with mounting stone 40" ht.).
