Antique cloisonné enamel cross and Holy Water font receptacle.
They were originally attached to an onyx cross but it must have been broken and was removed by a previous owner. The original gold metal back is still present.
This would be perfect for someone who wants to make its own cross as a wooden cross could easily be made with the right tools.
The enamel work is beautiful but some parts are worn, scratched and stained. The gold metal of the cross has tarnished, is worn and stained. The gold colour is gone in places.
The font has a beautiful lid. The receptacle is painted white inside. It has been used and there are stains and residue inside. Green stains and white paint is missing inside.
Corrosion spots inside and around the receptacle.
The metal cross which is supposed to be at the back is scratched, very stained and worn. The gold colour is gone in large places. There is some corrosion.
The two crosses are attached together with scews and bolts. The screws are inserted in some metal tubes at the back of the cloisonne cross. The font is attached the same way. Some screws and bolts are more recent.
There is no loop at the back.
A great piece for a DIY enthusiast.
Size of enamel cross: 13 x 8.9 cm / 5.11 x 1.96 inches
Size of gold metal cross: 22.6 x 12.8 cm / 8.66 x 4.72 inches.
Weight: 290 grams.
