About the Item

Pair of 17th century Italian (Venetian) carved arms of Christ decorated with crystal and tourmaline on tourmaline in matrix. These hand carved arms came off a large crucifix from a church in Venice. The crucifix itself was originally black and symbolizes in Italy that Christ is for all people. The decoration of both the crystal and tourmaline is natural in their formation and coordinates with the artifacts to give the illusion that they evolved together over time.

Pair of 18th-century architectural fragments
Located in Rio De Janeiro, BR
This pair of 18th-century architectural fragments captures the elegance and craftsmanship of colonial-era decorative art. Originally part of a larger structure, these wooden fragments showcase intricate carvings, likely once embellishing a grand interior space with their distinctive style. Each piece features a graceful, fluted column-like design with scrolling volutes, adding a sense of movement and refinement that reflects the baroque influence prevalent during the period.

These fragments are versatile in their potential uses today, making them ideal as decorative pieces in various settings. Whether mounted on a wall or displayed on pedestals, they serve as striking reminders of 18th-century artistry and add a sense of historical grandeur to any space.
