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

- Antique Hand Carved Gothic Column Stand with Saint Luke, Mark & John SculpturesLocated in Lisse, NLOne of a kind and meaningful, Gothic Revival pedestal / planter / candle holder. Finding unique antiques that are unlike anything we ever saw always makes us feel grateful. When we first saw this large, entirely handcrafted and handcarved column we thought it was a church pedestal for displaying a saint sculpture on top. However, when we noticed the open top with the zinc, removable liner inside, we realized this was in fact a Gothic Revival plant stand with a possibility to also have a sculpture on display in the middle section. Thanks to the zinc liner this beautiful workmanship antique can also be used as a candle stand (as shown in some of our photos), creating a marvelous atmosphere with the burning candles behind the Gothic carvings around the hexagonal top. At the base of this unique stand are three handcarved sculptures of a winged bull (symbolizing Saint Luke...Category
