Product Details

The Vintage Bronze Christening Crucifix with Fleur-de-Lis is scaled for a very young child at just over an inch. The four arms close in fleur-de-lis terminals with small volutes scrolling back toward the crossing, and a fluted panel stands above the head of Christ. For its size the corpus is remarkably clearly drawn.

The fleur-de-lis has served for centuries as a Marian emblem, the lily of purity, and it appears again and again on French devotional metalwork; here it softens a crucifix into something fitting for a baptism, the hour when a child is given a name and given to God together. No lettering is cast into the piece, which leaves the whole of a keepsake card free for that name and the date it was received.

The crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.

  • Made in the USA
  • Artisan-cast from an antique original
  • Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
  • Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
  • Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
  • Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
