There is a quiet grandeur to this cross, the kind that feels devotional without being solemn. Every surface is alive with movement: curling vines, blooming flowers, and softly raised petals that catch the light as the piece moves. It feels less like an object made once and finished, and more like something patiently shaped by hand and intention, meant to be worn close and carried through life. The scale gives it presence, but the floral repoussé keeps it tender and human, a balance the Victorians understood well.

Crafted in about 1890, and monumental in size, this cross is made of silver and decorated throughout with deeply worked floral repoussé. It measures approximately 101 mm north to south, 54.8 mm across, and 8 mm in depth, and weighs 25.98 grams. The cross is unmarked, but has been tested. The generous bail allows it to be worn on a variety of chains or ribbons.

Worn today, this cross feels timeless rather than overtly religious, expressive rather than prescriptive. A striking survivor from the late Victorian era, rich with symbolism, craftsmanship, and the kind of presence that invites its wearer to imagine the lives it has already accompanied.
