On the acrylic glass cross, the Paimpont crucifix looks unusually light: the hand-carved Christ hangs on a transparent cross, so that he seems almost to float. It is a solution for modern homes, bright offices or rooms where a dark wooden cross would feel too heavy.
The corpus is carved from wood in Val Gardena; only the cross is made of clear acrylic glass. Which model lies behind the name Paimpont, a place in Brittany, cannot be documented. The meaning remains unchanged: the crucifix is a sign of faith and redemption.
- Sizes: 25 cm
- Finish: Walnut stained
- Wood: wood from the Gardena Valley – mainly lime wood, depending on size also maple or Swiss stone pine
- Cross: Acrylic glass, transparent
This combination makes a gift for people who appreciate a crucifix but do not have a traditional interior, for example for a wedding, a move into a first home or a farewell from work.
For a Paimpont crucifix on an acrylic glass cross, you will need to wait approx. 3–4 weeks. It is delivered insured directly from South Tyrol, within Germany and Austria only, at a cost of €6.90. The corpus is one of a kind; grain and carving marks differ from piece to piece.
