Large and highly decorative antique table lamp with stunning quality boy sculpture.
If you are looking for a rare and meaningful table lamp that is also great to look at, then this could be the one for you. At the center of this early 20th century work of lighting art is a young male who is energetically ringing the town bell.

Antique Quality Carved Solid Nutwood Christ with Palm Leaf Sculpture / Statuette
Located in Lisse, NL
Finest quality carved sculpture of Jesus with a marvelous patina.
This marvelous quality, hand-carved sculpture of our Lord Jesus is among the finest we have ever seen and this truly is a work of religious art. It may be relatively small in size, but both the quality in the details and the beauty of His posture are simply majestic. For the sculptor not to leave his signature on this work of beauty, to us, shows his modesty. We believe that most artists in the religious genre felt that their gift/talent was god given and marking their sculptures, to them, was a sign of too much ego. The highly skilled sculptor must have spent weeks rather than days creating this antique statuette...

Large Six-Light Bronze Chandelier with Folkore or Fable Hybrid Guard Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Amazing quality and excellent condition, heavy bronze chandelier.
This early 1900s and all handcrafted bronze chandelier is of amazing quality and highly decorative at the same time. We don't know the actual meaning of these templar or Robin Hood-like watchman who are holding up their lights for you, but they are a marvelous sight to see and the condition of this antique and sizable fixture is among the best we have ever seen. The handcrafted and hand-engraved glass shades are the perfect finish to this six light chandelier. Mind you, our photos were taken prior to our rewiring procedures, because we did not yet know which country this amazing fixture will go to. This is also the reason why in our images only one group of three lights is working. Finally, the patina of this fixture combined with the engraved transparent shades creates a sight and an atmosphere that will never fail to impress. They just don't make em like this anymore.
This rare and amazing bronze fixture is great value for money. Especially when taken into account that our sharp price includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.

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...

Antique, New and Vintage Sculptures
Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art.
A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living room bookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. Figurative sculptures are representational works that portray a specific person, animal or object. And while decorating with busts, which are sculpted or cast figurative works, hasn’t exactly topped the list of design trends every year, busts are back. According to designer Timothy Corrigan, “They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give.” Abstract sculptures, on the other hand, are not meant to show something specific. Instead, they invoke a mood or scene without directly stating what they are portraying.
Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?
When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. And make sure you know how the size and form of the sculpture will affect your space in whole. If you choose a sculpture with dramatic design elements, such as sharp angles or bright colors, for example, try to better integrate this new addition by echoing those elements in the rest of your room’s design.
Get started on decorating with sculpture now — find figurative sculptures, animal sculptures and more on 1stDibs today.
