Title: Large 19th Century Black Forest Carved Wall Cross
Description: Large 19th Century Black Forest Carved Wall Cross

A large 19th-century Black Forest carved wall cross, extensively decorated with grapevines, bunches of grapes and individually carved vine leaves.

The cross is of substantial proportions, measuring 180 cm in height, with quatrefoil terminals and a central carved quatrefoil incorporating a cross and grape motifs.
The upper section bears the traditional INRI inscription picked out in gilt.

The dark-stained timber retains a good depth of colour and the extensive carving is particularly effective across the projecting leaves and vine decoration.

In good structural condition, with wear commensurate with age and some minor old repairs.
The gilding to the INRI inscription is of a later date.
