A powerful testament to 19th‑century german ecclesiastical craftsmanship, this bronze crucifix accompanied by its original pair of candlesticks was produced by the distinguished foundry of p.l. Vombach in offenbach am main. Renowned for their finely cast liturgical objects, vombach workshops supplied churches and private chapels throughout central europe, blending devotional purpose with sculptural artistry.
the crucifix is richly detailed, featuring a finely modeled corpus of christ and ornate terminals that echo gothic and baroque revival influences. The base is architecturally inspired, with layered moldings and symbolic ornamentation that anchor the piece with solemn dignity. The inscription of the maker “p. L. Vombach offenbach a/m” attests to its provenance and the high level of metalwork associated with this respected 19th‑century atelier.
flanking the crucifix are two matching candlesticks, each cast in bronze with intricate relief work and sculptural bases. Their verticality and decorative rhythm complement the central cross, forming a harmonious devotional ensemble intended for altar use or a private oratory. The bronze has developed a deep, authentic patina over time, enhancing the richness of the modeling and underscoring the age and authenticity of the set.
together, these pieces embody the spiritual intensity and artistic refinement of german religious metalwork in the late 1800s. They offer collectors, decorators, and institutions a rare opportunity to acquire a complete liturgical grouping of exceptional presence and historical resonance.
