C19 French Benitier
C19 Napoleon III French Benitier / Holy Water Font
A beautiful 19th-century French Napoleon III benitier (holy water font), featuring a large, ornate ebonised wooden crucifix with decorative white metal detailing and a spelter figure of Christ.
An impressive piece with wonderful Gothic character and plenty of decorative detail. The holy water stoup has some corrosion and oxidisation to the surface finish, consistent with its age and history.
A striking piece of antique religious interest, equally appealing for its Gothic decorative qualities.
Measures 39cm x 23cm.
