Stunning, top quality made antique pendant in the Gothic style. If you are a collector of rare and ancient looking Gothic antiques then this large size and possibly one of a kind pendant could be flying your way soon. With antique light fixtures as one of our specialities, we know how rare Gothic lanterns are and to have found one of this age, size, beauty and quality more than made our day. Also, because this all hand-crafted specimen is, except for the glass, completely original and in superb condition. What makes this stylishly blackened specimen stand out from the other Gothic lights that we have sold over the years, is the thickness of the forged wrought iron parts and its relatively clean-lined design. The forged iron is thick and strong and that too is why this large lantern light...

Egypt & Lower Nubia – Elegant Antique Atlas Map of the Nile, ca.1888 This elegant antique atlas map presents Egypt and the Nile Valley in a refined, softly colored composition that feels timeless and architectural. The long vertical sweep of the Nile immediately draws the eye, flowing from the Mediterranean through Cairo and Upper Egypt toward Lower Nubia, framed by delicately engraved desert regions and subtle coastal shading along the Red Sea. Produced by Rand, McNally & Co. at the height of late-19th-century American atlas design, the map combines clarity with a restrained pastel palette that works exceptionally well in contemporary interiors. The balance between open desert spaces and the finely detailed river corridor gives the sheet a calm, almost meditative presence on the wall, making it particularly attractive for living rooms, studies, libraries, or hospitality settings. Cartographic details are crisp yet unobtrusive, allowing the overall composition to read as decorative rather than technical. The typography is elegant and evenly spaced, while the hand-colored regions add warmth without overpowering the design. When framed, the vertical format emphasizes the monumental scale of the Nile and creates a strong visual anchor in a room. A particularly appealing feature of this sheet is that the reverse side displays a decorative map of Africa, making it a versatile double-sided atlas leaf. This adds interest for collectors and interior designers alike, whether framed with visible margins, floated in a double-glazed frame, or appreciated as a historical object in a portfolio or drawer. Printed on original late-19th-century atlas paper, this map retains the authentic texture and presence expected of a period piece, offering both decorative impact and historical character without feeling heavy or academic. Condition report: Original atlas paper with light age toning consistent with period. Minor edge wear and gentle handling marks typical of bound atlas sheets. Overall well preserved with clean color and strong legibility. Framing tips: This map works beautifully in a light oak, walnut, or muted gold frame with an off-white or warm ivory mat. A tall vertical mat emphasizes the flow of the Nile and enhances the architectural feel. Museum glass is recommended to preserve the soft pastel tones. Technique: Color lithograph Maker: Rand, McNally & Co., United States, late 19th century Keywords: Egypt map, Nile map, Nile wall art, antique map of Egypt, decorative atlas map, Rand McNally map, antique Egypt wall art...

Graceful and all handcrafted antique light fixture. This early Arts & Crafts era pendant has an aesthetic beauty that you don't find anymore in this day and age. It has the most pleasing to the eye shape and amber color and the handcrafted brass has a marvelous patina. In images 2 and 3 you can see that this unique light fixture started its life as (and still is) a candle lantern. Because of the Gothic quatrefoil details this may have been a sanctuary lamp at the entrance of a church or monastery. The beautifully patinated brass is all hand-crafted, but the unique art glass shade with its unique hand-etched, flowery patterns and amazing color is what makes this antique truly special. Have you also noticed the 'stand-alone' etched oak branches with acorns? They symbolize growth and unlimited potential since an acorn can grow into a huge oak tree that, by itself, can seed an entire forest. Both with the light switched on and off you could not wish for a more stylish, European antique fixture. It is of the kind that you certainly don't find anymore in this day and age. This ideal hallway or bedroom pendant light...

Stunningly powerful and meaningful work of religious art. With works of religious art being one of our specialties, over the decades we have sold quite a few special antiques in this field. With this bronze antique the artist clearly shows us a fragment out of one of the most famous scenes that took place in the history of mankind. Christ has already been beaten, mocked, given a wreath of thorns and having to carry the enormous cross. As you can see the quality of the details and the workmanship is excellent, but the scene and its meaning ofcourse is even more impressive. Please notice how particularly the facial features reveil the peaceful state of being that lies underneath the exterior of this Christ sculpture...
