About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
In the 1930s, Art Deco found its way even into devotional objects. Traditional forms became geometric, marble was combined with new metallic effects, and the crucifix also became a true element of interior decor. This particular piece boasts a particularly successful architecture. A large silver-plated metal structure forms a slender silhouette, punctuated by points and small triangular openwork designs. Against this almost graphic background rests a genuine marble cross, with cream and ochre hues, traversed by magnificent yellow and gray veins. The Christ figure in gilded metal breaks the deliberate coolness of the silver-plated metal. Its modeling remains classic, with finely crafted details on the face, hair, and drapery, while the small INRI placed above it echoes the same warm tone. The contrast between the silver, gold, and natural colors of the marble gives the piece a remarkable presence. This convergence of religious tradition and modern aesthetic is entirely characteristic of the Art Deco era, circa 1930. Household objects at the time followed the transformations in decorative arts, also adopting the clean lines, symmetry, and material combinations characteristic of the interwar period. Measuring approximately 22 cm high by 14 cm wide, this crucifix retains an elegant format, easy to integrate into contemporary decor. Against a deep-colored wall, its light marble and silver-plated metal will stand out with great impact. In a more classic interior, amidst paintings, engravings, or antique objects, it will provide that Art Deco touch that prevents the decor from becoming too staid. The metal and the Christ figure show the patina and marks left by time, perfectly visible in the photographs. These now give the piece that extra character sought after in an object that has endured for nearly a century. A beautiful Art Deco crucifix where marble, silver, and gold alone compose the entire design.
