Antique French Silver-Plated Copper Crucifix – Signed B. Wicker (Bernard Wicker) – Four Evangelists – Wall or Pectoral Cross – 18 cm

Rare Antique Signed Crucifix by French Engraver Bernard Wicker (B. Wicker GR)

Beautiful large antique French crucifix in silver-plated copper (métal cuivre argenté).

Features a finely detailed three-dimensional corpus of Christ in copper tone against the richly engraved silvered cross.

The arms and shaft are decorated with ornate floral and geometric openwork motifs.

The four ends of the cross are adorned with finely engraved medallions representing the Four Evangelists:

Each medallion shows the Evangelists in traditional human form (with books/scrolls and, in some cases, accompanying figures such as the angel for Matthew).

Clear signature “B. Wicker GR” (Bernard Wicker, Graveur) is visible near the base.
