Large Antique Chapel Cross, Oak Cross With Cast Bronze Corpus Christi, Circa 1860, 59 x 30 Centimetres
This lovely cross was made for a chapel or nunnery and clearly hung there for many decades. I suspect above the fireplace as it was covered in soot and carbon when I found it. I do not usually clean antique items as I want them to retain their original patina of age. In this case I had to deep clean the Corpus Christi and refurbish the old oak cross.
In its own right the Corpus Christi is a work of Art. It is solid cast bronze and is wonderfully detailed.
This lovely chapel cross is now in lovely condition. . The cross is clearly of oak.
The chapel cross measures 59 x 30 centimetres.
The Corpus Christi is 23 x 15 cm.
The cross has a bronze ring inserted into the top for wall hanging.
