Elegant Antique French Silver & Mother of Pearl Crucifix – First Communion or Wedding Gift

A beautiful antique French crucifix dating from the 1920s, made from luminous mother of pearl and fitted with hallmarked silver mounts and a finely detailed silver corpus. It comes in a charming vintage Marseille jeweller's presentation box, adding to its appeal and history.

The mother of pearl has a lovely natural glow that catches the light beautifully. Delicate pierced silver corner mounts frame the cross, giving it an elegant and distinctly French appearance. The silver corpus is finely modelled, and the original hanging loop remains in place.

This is a smaller, more delicate crucifix, making it ideal as a First Communion, Confirmation, wedding, or baptism gift. It would also make a wonderful addition to a collection of antique religious items or devotional objects.

The accompanying Bijoux-Royer box from Marseille adds further character and makes the piece especially suitable for gifting or display.

Condition is good antique condition with gentle age-related wear consistent with age and careful devotional use. The mother of pearl remains bright and attractive, and the silver mounts retain their hallmarks.
