Pocket snuff flask carved from coquille nut. Amazing small pocket snuff bottle, carved from a large coquille nut. This antique piece was created in the shape of a spinning top with two secret compartments which can be unscrewed to open. Made in the continental Europe and most probably French or Portuguese provenance from the 18th century, circa 1780. Extensively decorated with organic and floral motifs with a beautiful image of a nut on the upper part. Curiously due to the shape of this piece, it could be played as a spinning tool on a table. This adds a particular interest for the multiple use with which the carving was conceived. Weight: 42.60 Grams. Measurements: Diameter of 40 mm and a height of 89 mm (1.57 x 3.5 Inches). Hallmarks: No marks, gorgeous deep antique patina. Coquille Nut The coquille nut emanates from swampy areas on the eastern side of South America, from a palm known as the “attalea funiefera”. Brazilians call it “Piassabe”. The nuts were introduced into Western Europe in the mid-16th century, and used for small carved objects until the end of the 19th century. Coquille nut is a fruit of a Brazilian palm...

A sublime Burmese carved, lacquered and gilt hardwood crowned Buddha seated in a "western pose", early to mid 20th century, Burma (Myanmar). The elegant and graceful Buddha is portrayed wearing an elaborate six pointed crown with two large "wings" to the side, and a simple robe wrapped around the body and draped over one shoulder. He is seated upon a high stepped throne, his feet resting upon a double lotus pedestal. The Buddha's face is serene. He stares out in the distance calmly, with eyes slightly downcast, and a slight smile on his face. His long, pendulous earlobes blend in with the wings of the elaborate crown upon his head. A lotus bud finial would originally have surmounted the head, but is now missing. He holds one hand in his lap, palm up in a meditative gesture. His other hand rests gently on his knee. This pose, with the Buddha seated upon a raised throne, with both legs planted on the floor, is often referred to as a "western pose". The pose is most often associated with the Bodhisattva Maitreya...

One-of-a-kind studio-crafted floor lamp built from repurposed golf clubs, this piece blends functional lighting with bold sculptural art. Actual golf clubs—identifiable by their brand and sizing—have been cut, shaped, and welded into a long neck and wedge-like base in the form of a classic golf club. At its foot nestles a large 5-inch diameter golf ball, cradled among the irons, integrating whimsy and meaning into the structure. The entire lamp is metal, and the weight and feel are substantial. The surface carries a clean white enamel finish that brings a contemporary Pop-Art sensibility to the form. The repaint is recent and mostly even; up close there may be minor mishaps or texture irregularities in the enamel, but nothing that detracts from its visual impact. The lamp is in working order; it emits a bright, directional light pleasing in both ambient and accent settings. Shade is not included, so the form remains clean and undistracted by extras. This lamp is perfect as a centerpiece in a living room, studio, or gallery-like space where it can be appreciated from multiple angles. The strong silhouette, melding sporting equipment with art and lighting, makes it a conversation starter. It pairs beautifully with minimalist decor, warm woods, polished metals, or dramatic accent walls. For collectors and design lovers who prize originality, sculptural lighting, or whimsical Pop-Art hybrids, this floor lamp is rare and memorable. It’s more than illumination—it’s functional art with personality and presence. Incredibly unique studio made golf club lamp...

This hand-crafted Calvary sculpture was produced in Spain during the 17th century and is carved entirely from boxwood. The piece depicts the traditional Calvary scene, representing Christ crucified on Mount Golgotha, a subject widely interpreted in Spanish religious art of the period. Boxwood was a favored material for devotional sculptures due to its density, fine grain, and ability to hold highly detailed carving. The sculpture is executed with careful attention to proportion and anatomical detail, reflecting the devotional and didactic purpose of such works. The compact scale and refined carving suggest it was intended for private worship, a chapel setting, or ecclesiastical use, rather than large-scale architectural display. The use of boxwood allows for crisp detailing, particularly in facial features, drapery, and the structure of the cross. Calvary representations played a central role in early modern Catholic iconography, serving as visual tools for meditation and reflection. This example reflects the craftsmanship and religious sensibility characteristic of 17th-century Spanish carving traditions. The sculpture remains a strong historical object, valued for its material quality, traditional iconography, and artisanal execution. It stands as both a devotional artifact and a collectible example of early Spanish religious sculpture.
