An antique 18th century Walnut European Santos - Saint figure on a plinth
About the Item
An antique 18th century Walnut Figural Statue of Saint Peter on a plinth
Anonymous
Northern Europe, probably Belgium; first-half of the 18th century
Walnut
Approximate size: 17 (h) x 4.25 (w) x 4.25 (d) in.
The present sculpture, perfectly suited for a curiosity cabinet or English-European country styled home, was likely realized for a church side chapel or choir stall niche. The serious look of the saint’s face and his slightly back-leaning pose speak to the Gothic meets post-Renaissance influences still present in early 18th century Northern Europe. The plinth features a cartouche which may have once had the saint’s name painted thereupon if the statue was once polychromed, although it may have originally been conceived in its present form.
Condition commensurate with age. Minor scratches, dings, and small traces of old worming. Losses to the digits of the raised hand of St. Peter and the front right corner of the plinth is lost although this does not affect the stability of the standing sculpture.

- An early 18th century Florentine Ebonized Wood Aedicule CaseLocated in Leesburg, VAAn early 18th century Florentine ebonized wood aedicule case with gilt metal embellishments Ambit of Leonard van der Vinne Possibly first decade of the 18th century; Florence, Italy Approximate size: 83.5 (h) x 69 (w) x 23 (d) cm The cabinet’s centralized glass door is flanked by thick spiraling Solomonic columns surmounting a lower drawer. To the rear of the cabinet, the motif repeats in an eloquent display of perspectival treatment. The overall work is supported by a tiered base, elegantly conceived, and the cabinet is topped by a handsome pediment flanked by square plinths crested by gilt metal finials and an openwork frieze. The cabinet’s tempered and moderate form suggests an origin probably during the first decade or quarter of the 18th century. Although utilitarian in concept, the reserved and sublime expressiveness of this cabinet is managed with a quality and care respective of the influence of Florentine ebony cabinetry work conceived in the Galleria dei lavori or Grand Ducal Workshops of the 18th century Medici dynasty. In particular, its base mouldings echo a remarkable Night Clock...Category

- A Rustic European 18th century French faience fountain with spigotLocated in Leesburg, VAAnonymous Mid-18th century; probably Moustiers or Nevers, France Faience and brass Approximate size: 12.25 (h) x 9 (w) x 6.25 (d) inches The present dispenser was either used as a water or wine cooler or possibly for washing hands. The original lid is lost-to-time, yet its provincial beauty remains attractive and sublime. The present example—baked with white enamel and decorated with a lovely hand-painted polychrome lattice and floral theme—is warm, elegant and rustic. The curving linear form of the flowers subtly recall the influence of Japan’s Kakiemon style present in France during the Rococo period yet is still indebted to the earlier influence of Italy’s prolific maiolica workshops. This fountain would serve as an elegant addition for display on an oak or distressed wood console table...Category
