Beautiful and unusual French antique crucifix with small Holy water font. 
There is the Parisian shop label still attached at the back. It says 'E. Gérard éditeur. 10 rue du vieux colombier, Paris'
A metal crucifix signed S.H is attached to a brown velvet background. The crucifix has one cherub at each end.
The whole piece has an embossed leather border.
A small glass receptacle is attached at the bottom. 
It's all mounted on wood and there is a black card backing.
This crucifix dates from the late 19th or very early 20th century and shows signs of age as seen in the photographs.
The silver metal has darkened with age and has some scratches.
The pile of the velvet is very worn or gone in large places.
The leather has discoloured in places and some pieces are missing. It is also stained. The leather became dry with time and is worn or cracked. The inside edge is a bit damaged.
The wood is broken in two places.
Loop at the back so it can be hung immediately.
The backing is getting unstuck in places.
This is an unusual piece with a great patina but will require a bit of care.
Size: 35.1 x 18.9 cm / 13.81 x 7.44 inches
Weight: 430 grams.
