Pair of French 17th Century Angel Candle Holders in Carved Elmwood
Located in Dallas, TX
Standing at over two feet tall, this 17th century pair of angel candlesticks has been carved out of a beautiful French elm wood. Because elm wood typically has an interlocked grain, it can be quite difficult to carve or split. These candlesticks were produced by a master craftsman in France during the 1600s.
Our angels have long, wavy hair that extends past their shoulders. They are wearing long flowing gowns with scalloped collars and half sleeves. The loosely draped robe reaches their ankles, exposing bare feet that stand upon a round base. One leg is also visible from behind the material due to a slit at mid-thigh. Each angel is holding a turned candle holder that has a large wrought iron pricket with a lobed bobeche.
In France, this type of candle holder is known as an Ange Céroféraire. A ceroferary is the acolyte...

An Indian carved teak wood guardian lion sculpture from the mid-18th century, with traces of original paint. Handcrafted in India during the 1740s-1760s in order to take place in a monument, this teak architectural carving features a guardian lion, his teeth resting on a man's head. The sculpture shows traces of its original paint, while carving technique presents a great attention to details. The flat top suggests this was used as a column base, perhaps in a temple.

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.
The patina on the wood speaks to the age and authenticity of these fragments, with a natural wear that enhances their character and historical charm. Delicate foliate motifs can be observed near the top, subtly incorporated into the design to evoke a sense of organic beauty. The unique curvature and details would have made these fragments a highlight within their original architectural setting.
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. Perfect for collectors of architectural antiques or those seeking to bring a touch of old-world charm into their interiors, these fragments stand...

Rare 18th C Wooden Statue of St. John the Baptist
Located in Chicago, IL
This exceptionally life-like antique sculpture is carved from linden wood and once decorated a French church or cathedral. The figure stands authoritatively, with right arm raised and index finger extended toward heaven. It probably stood on a base in a side chapel.
According to Christian iconography of the period, this gesture signifies that salvation comes only through baptism. The figure wears a girdle of animal fir, probably from a bear, making symbolic reference to St. John the Baptist's life in the wilderness of Judea, between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. The elegantly carved robe is a baroque element that adds a sense of motion and energy to the artwork. Originally, the sculpture was polychromed, but the original pigments have weathered away and been replaced with whitewash. Repairs, losses, and insect damage are minor and expected due to great age. many vintage and antique religious sculptures...
