Crucifix, Louis XIV period

A superb antique crucifix depicting Christ in carved ivory, mounted on a gilded cross and presented on a crimson velvet background. The whole is framed in an elegant giltwood frame finely carved with acanthus and shell motifs, typical of the Louis XIV style and the early 18th century.

The Christ, 17.5 cm high, is of a particularly refined execution: the modeling of the body, the fineness of the facial features and the softness of the movement recall the best productions of French workshops, especially those of Dieppe, famous for their mastery of ivory sculpture.

The height of Christ (from head to toe) is 17.5 cm. 21 cm (from hands to feet)
Total dimensions: 57 cm high
Condition: good overall condition, small cracks in the gilt frame consistent with age.
Provenance: private family collection.

An authentic period piece, a rare testament to the devotion and artistic skill of the Grand Siècle.
A work of great quality, both spiritual and decorative, ideal for lovers of sacred art or collectors of antique ivory.
