Antique 1930s Solid Brass Lighted Crucifix 29.5″ Heavy 27lb Altar Cross Illuminated Church Salvage LED Halo Gothic Decor

A truly spectacular and exceedingly rare piece of 1930s ecclesiastical salvage. This monumental, solid brass illuminated altar cross stands an impressive 29.5 inches tall and weighs a massive 27 pounds. Designed with a removable front face, the hollow interior houses a candelabra lighting system that creates a breathtaking, glowing “halo” effect from within the brass casing. It is a stunning architectural piece that commands attention whether illuminated or unlit.

​Thoughtfully Updated for Modern Safety

We have carefully upgraded the interior bulbs to energy-efficient, low-wattage LEDs. This crucial update produces virtually no heat, protecting the antique brass enclosure and ensuring that no unnecessary strain is placed on the original 1930s cloth-covered wiring. You can plug it in and enjoy the dramatic, moody glow for hours with complete peace of mind.
