Extra Large Crucifix with Hand Carved Oak Corpus of Christ for Church or Chapel

Located in Lisse, NL

Beautifully carved and large size corpus of Jesus, made in the Arts & Crafts era. This meaningful and unique crucifix from the early 1900s comes with a larger than life, hand carved oak Corpus of Christ. The details in the anatomy of this Christ are very well carved and they clearly reveal the suffering and dehydration that His body endured in the final days of his life. The artist/sculptor is clearly showing us the image of Jesus when or right after he bowed his head and died. The solid oak cross is original to this corpus and it was given a different color so that the unique and impressive corpus stands out perfectly. Have you also noticed the perfectly carved and thick crown of thorns on the head of Christ. The patina of this excellent condition and large corpus is another great feature that will never fail to impress. The former owners gave us the photo that you see in image 3 in this listing and in it you can see where this antique corpus...

'Bucchero' Ceramic Bust Italian, 1950s
'Bucchero' Ceramic Bust Italian, 1950s

'Bucchero' Ceramic Bust Italian, 1950s

By Gio Ponti

Located in Meer, VAN

'Bucchero' female head / bust attributed to Giò Ponti and Carlo Alberto Rossi. Mid 20th century, Italy. This is a rare and marvelous little mid century ceramic head / bust by Carlo Alberto Rossi after a design attributed to Giò Ponti. Very stylistic and elegant. The ceramic gets its characteristic black color through a special process in which the oxygen is removed from the red clay. So no paint or varnish is used. This is a technique that dates back to the Etruscans. Many works by Carlo Alberto Rossi and his brother – with whom he collaborated – have the characteristic black color. The Rossi brothers collaborated with the famous architect and designer Gio Ponti. Several of his designs – including this head – were executed in the Rossi’s studio. The collaboration was a great success. Some of the works were also shown at the IX Triennale of Milan in 1951. Please note we have a selection of 'Bucchero' pieces by Gubbio artists C. A. Rossi, Sebastiani and Elio Cerbella...

Mexican Tin Candleholder Hand-Punched Folk Art from the Jonathan Parks Estate
Mexican Tin Candleholder Hand-Punched Folk Art from the Jonathan Parks Estate

Mexican Tin Candleholder Hand-Punched Folk Art from the Jonathan Parks Estate

Located in Oklahoma City, OK

An exceptional mid-century Mexican tin candleholder, featuring three arms and intricate hand-punched star and dot motifs typical of folk tinwork from Oaxaca and central Mexico. The symmetrical, crescent-shaped form is elevated on a pedestal base, giving the piece both architectural structure and sculptural presence. The underside bears the simple stamped mark “MEXICO,” confirming its origin. This piece was sourced from the Jonathan Parks estate in Santa Fe, known for his discerning eye for Southwestern and Latin American art and design. The geometric punching patterns and domed detailing echo traditional “hojalata” (tin art) techniques that Mexican artisans developed in the 19th and 20th centuries—originally inspired by Spanish colonial metalwork traditions. Condition Excellent vintage condition with age-appropriate wear, light surface oxidation, and minor irregularities consistent with handcraftsmanship. The piece retains a soft, silvery patina that highlights its intricate texture and history. Styling Ideas - Display as a centerpiece on a rustic farmhouse or desert-modern dining table, flanked by pottery or woven textiles. - Style on a mantel, console, or altar table alongside santos figures, retablos, or other Mexican tinwork. - Perfect for interiors that celebrate Santa Fe style, Hacienda revival, or old-world craftsmanship — blending beautifully with both European and Southwestern antiques...
