{"product_id":"standing-crucifix-in-shiny-brass-15-75","title":"Brass Home Altar Set – Standing Crucifix \u0026 2 Angel Candlesticks, Made in Italy","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hardest part of setting up a home altar is not deciding to have one. It's not knowing what to buy, or whether the pieces you find will look right together once they arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis set answers that. A 15.75\" standing crucifix in polished Italian brass, flanked by two 9.75\" kneeling-angel candlesticks — the classic arrangement, in the proportions that actually work. The candlesticks sit at roughly 60% of the crucifix height, which is where the eye expects them, and their relief is cast on both faces so each angel can be turned to incline toward the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAll three pieces are cast and finished in Italy by the same workshop, so the brass tone and finish match. Assembled from separate sources, they often don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to set up a home altar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou need less than you think. A small table, shelf, or dresser top against a wall — ideally somewhere the household passes daily rather than a room nobody enters. A white or seasonal-colored cloth if you want one. The crucifix at the center, set back. A candlestick on either side, set forward slightly so the arrangement has depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrom there it grows as your family's devotion does: an image of Our Lady or a patron saint, a Bible or prayer book, a holy water font by the door, seasonal additions for Advent and Lent. There's no rubric governing a domestic altar — it's a fixed place for prayer, and its only job is to be seen every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStanding crucifix, 15.75\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — Polished brass on a detailed weighted base, with budded cross tips: three rounded lobes at each terminal, an old form figuring the Trinity at every extremity of the Cross. 15.75\"H × 7\"W × 4\"D, approx. 3 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAngel candlesticks, 9.75\" (two)\u003c\/strong\u003e — A kneeling angel holds each candle socket, gazing upward.
