Unique Mid 1800s Embossed Copper Planter / Vase with Satyr Sculptures as Handles
About the Item
Museum quality, embossed copper planter with rare satyr theme.
This stunning and superbly hand-crafted antique copper planter or vase is another one of our recent unique finds. It has the most amazing, deeply embossed acorn and oak leaf patterns all around, but what makes this mid 1800s antique stand out from anything we ever saw, are the hand-sculptured satyrs that function as the handles. Many artisans in the 1800s were inspired by what they had learned about mythology and over the many centuries a lot of mythological creatures had been implemented in all kinds of great artworks. Satyrs have always had a special appeal to many collectors around the globe. Also, because they were characterized by their ribaldry and were known as lovers of wine, music, dancing and women. They were companions of the god Dionysus and were believed to inhabit remote locales, such as woodlands, mountains, and pastures. Naughty creatures somehow always are a lot more interesting to people than creatures that are known as dull. This tactile antique is beautifully and very well handmade and over the many decades its patina has made it even more beautiful. This entirely hand-crafted work of beauty can still be used as a vase or planter, but standing by itself, we think, this work of art will never fail to impress either. We feel that only if you realize how difficult and time consuming it is to hand create a piece like this, will you be able to truly realize how special this antique is.
This fit for a museum antique certainly is great value for money and our fair price includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Maximum height x width (including the handles) x depth : 10.3 x 12.6 x 9.45 inches.
Diameter of the opening on top: 5.9 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

- Large Antique Crucifix with a Hand Carved & Bronzed Wooden Corpus of Jesus 1800sLocated in Lisse, NLUnique and large size, antique corpus of Christ on a blackened oak cross. If you are looking for a large crucifix with a not too overwhelming corpus of Christ for your house of prayer or for your home(chapel) then this unique ecclesiastical antique from the late 1800s could be the one. According to the former owner, this ancient bronze-color painted and sizable corpus and cross came from a monastery in Germany. The details in the anatomy of this Christ sculpture are very well carved and they clearly reveil the work of a seasoned carver / sculptor. We were also immediately impressed by the coloring, because the patina on this corpus from a little distance very much resembles the patina of antique bronze sculptures that you can find in every major market square here in Europe. We also particularly appreciate the details in the face and the position of the head of Christ. Both the angle in which He bowes His head and the details in His face are very realistic and they leave a lasting impression. We believe the artist has perfectly captured the moment in which Jesus bowed His head as He died on the cross. The ebonized oak cross is original to this corpus, but we think it was ebonized later in time, because it makes this unique and stunning sculpture stand out better. This solid oak cross has metal-strengthened openings in the back (both atop and at the bottom) via which this crucifix is safe and easy to mount. Because of the quality, the rarity, the large size, the beauty and the deeper meaning we are convinced that this antique crucifix too will find a new home soon. Whether it be in a private home, monastery or in a church, this work of religious art from the late 1800's will never fail to impress. Thanks to the pair of metal hooks on the back, safely mounting this ecclesiastical antique tight to your wall will be very easy to do. Our fair price for this one of a kind crucifix even includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x width x depth of the cross & corpus: 56 x 30.5 x 8 inches. Maximum height x width of the antique wooden corpus...Category
