Antique Hand-Carved Stone Sphinx Plaque
About the Item
This antique stone plaque is a fragment from history. With the head of human, the body of a lion and the wings of a falcon, a mythical sphinx has been handsomely preserved for more than 200 years. Intricate details such as the nose, eyes and feet remain relatively unspoiled; a rare find with an object of this age. Carved by hand deep into the stone, the sphinx stands on a decorative twisted edge that suggests that this stone plaque may have been once part of a set. Perhaps it was a tile to embellish a mythical obelisk, a church or an ancient Egyptian tomb. On its own, this antique stone plaque is an object of striking interest for a console or plinth in a property, the preservation of the detail and years of wear telling the story of times gone by. It has been mounted onto a bespoke steel stand.

This amazingly hand carved wooden wall plaque is not only of great quality and condition, it also has a patina that is unlike anything you ever saw. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and interesting crucifixes, but we had not yet come across one that is inside such a beautiful branches and leaf frame in the Swiss Black Forest style. For us to have found it in this amazing condition again felt like a blessing and we are grateful to be able it to offer it to our 1stdibs clientele first. At the centre of this Christian-work-of-art-wall-plaque and behind the original, mouth-blown convex glass 'window' is an even more detailed sepiolite sculpture of Christ on the cross.
