Rare Art Nouveau Era Corner Bracket / Shelf with Amphictyonis Mask / Sculpture

About the Item

Amazing and hand carved pine wood corner shelf, depicting Amphictyonis, the goddess of wine. The Greek god of wine Dionysos or Bacchus as he was known in Rome, probably is much better known than his female counterpart. Many gods were integrated in all kinds of classical antiques and Bacchus certainly is one of the most famous. This striking mask corner bracket however depicts a much lesser known god(dess). The upside of that is that this work-of-art-corner-bracket actually and factually is extremely rare. And anyone who collects antiques (or decorative items) having to do with wine and its cultural and historical importance will also want to have a sculpture / image of Amphictyonis. To have found her, quality carved out of a beautiful pine and dating from the Art Nouveau era, again felt like a blessing. If you already have a place in mind for her than maybe you should be her next custodian. Mind you, our price for this stunning and rare, Art Nouveau era wall bracket even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 workdays. Maximum height x width x depth when corner mounted: 20 x 12.8 x 14.5 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 Wall Display Cabinet with a Rare Mary & Child Jesus Sculpture Fragment
    Located in Lisse, NL
    One of a kind, handcrafted display cabinet with a rare religious artefact. This excellent wall display cabinet still opens and closes perfectly and it comes with the original antique glass in the door. Finding antiques with the original glass with that beautiful ripple in it, always makes those pieces extra desirable (in our view). The striking acorn and leaf motifs in the handcrafted, molded borders of the door too are very stylish features to enjoy. Over the decades the gilding has slightly warn off, which has created a marvelous patina. Given the style, age and perfect fit, we think that this antique wall cabinet was specifically made for the rare religious fragment that it is holding. If you like this unique display cabinet then you will love the rare fragment it is holding. From the missing pieces on the sides you can see that this Virgin Mary and child Jesus plaque...
