Antique German Wine Table or Stand with Hand-Carved Saying and Sculptural Legs
About the Item
Rare, meaningful, practical, handcrafted and highly decorative antique table.
This one of a kind table will appeal to spiritual people and collectors of stylish, rare and meaningful antiques from all walks of life and from many countries accross the globe. To us, this rare table ticks all the boxes and we, again, felt blessed for it to come our way. Just like, through our hands, we expect it to find exactly the right custodians somewhere on the planet. The design and the symbolism in this antique, is what makes it so much more than just a table. The tripod base is made of three, all hand-carved, grape branch-design sculptural legs of the finest quality. However, what makes this piece stand out from anything you may have ever seen is the carved saying. All hand-carved into the solid wooden rim of this table is an old German saying. It reads: "ISS WAS GAR IST, TRINK WAS KLAR IST, SPRICH WAS WAHR IST". This roughly translates to: eat what is (well) done, drink what is pure and speak what is true. These three 'commandments' seem very good advise for any individual.
The table top is ever so slightly bent, but it does not take anything away from the beauty or practicality of this unique table. This marvelous and solid wooden table is inlaid with leather, has a beautiful patina and she is as stable as the day she was handcrafted all those years ago. Mind you, our price for this one of a kind antique includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
Maximum height x diameter: 31 x 17 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

- Antique Nutwood & Oak Wine Theme Tilt-Top Table with Hand Carved Faun SculptureLocated in Lisse, NLRemarkable, practical and highly decorative antique table. We are certain that this incredibly well-crafted and one of a kind table will appeal to both antique furniture enthousiasts in general AND to wine related antique collectors in particular. Because of its worldly subject matter, decorative appeal and top quality workmanship we expect people from all walks of life and from many countries across the globe to take a liking to this work of art and table into one. To us, this unique table ticks all the boxes and we, again, felt blessed for it to come our way. Just like, through our hands, we expect it to find exactly the right custodian somewhere in the world. The design, the workmanship and the symbolism in this antique, is what makes it so much more than just a table. The entire design and condition is remarkable, but the incredibly well carved faun or satyr sculpture in the stem of this table really is what takes it to the next level. The details of the faun (he is often found in sculptures together with Bacchus), his amazing polished surface and patina, but also the grape vines and bunches, they really are an absolute joy to own and to look at. Thanks to the perfect tripod base this table also stands as strong and firm as the day it was handmade all those decades ago. Apart from some truly minor wear, consistent with age and of being used and enjoyed, this 19th century solid wooden, wine theme...Category

- Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display StandLocated in Lisse, NLTop quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name. This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us. Our fair price for this museum worthy sculpture again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Total height x width x depth: 74 x 17 x 16.5 inches. Christ bust...Category

- Unique Art Deco Styled Chrome Jet Airplane Lighted Smoker's Stand or TableLocated in Hamilton, OntarioThis very unique lighted smoker's stand is unsigned, but presumed to have been made in North America, likely the United States, in approximately 1950 in an Art Deco style. This smoker's stand is done in chromed metal with a streamlined and stylized jet fighter airplane suspended between the cast handle and table top. The base is nicely pierced and decorated with geometric designs and is accented by a molded glass dome light done with marbled colors. The light turns on and off with a switch on the base and the electrical elements have been completely restored. There are some numbers or marking of some type under one wing of the plane, which are likely a model number. This is a very rare and unique model for these airplane ashtray...Category
