Rare Set of Christian Art Deco Bronze Jesus, Mary & Angel Wall Plaques by Norga
Located in Lisse, NL
Rare set of three, good size and mint condition works of religious art.
This group of three bronze works of art (deco) all depict biblical scenes and they can be placed and worshipped in all kinds of settings. Meaningful and perfectly handcrafted works of religious art like these were mostly used in monasteries, private homes, but also on the more expensive cemeteries. The one on the left depicts Mother Mary and John the Baptist as they mourn over the body of Christ right after He was taken from the cross. The bronze plaque in the middle, we believe, depicts the third station where Jesus falls for the first time. The third bronze depicts a beautiful Arch Angel kneeling...

Antique Crucifix with A Unique Tree Trunk Style Wooden Cross & Corpus of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and perfectly balanced crucifix with a marvelous cross and a detailed corpus of Jesus.
This unique design crucifix comes with an incredibly detailed and top quality carved, circular, tree trunk-like cross. We have never seen such a cross before and it must have taken one highly skilled sculptor / artisan a very long time to create. The corpus of Christ too comes with beautiful details and it has the most amazing patina. We have sold some rare and good quality crucifixes over the years and this finely detailed corpus on this rare wooden cross is right up there with the most unique. Some crucifixes come with sculptures of Christ in terrible agony, but the serene face of this Christ reflects nothing but piece and calm. Both alive and deceased He was in a different realm and that is what the sculptor (in our view) has perfectly managed to capture. Have you also noticed the original and stylish INRI sign at the top? Furthermore, this antique crucifix...

Zenith 9S263 sutter dial oval shaped console radio with bluetooth This rare Classic console was part of the 1938 Zenith lineup that featured many other radios that used the unique “Robot” dial, commonly called a shutter dial.

The cabinet is stunning with walnut veneers and maple inlays. The interior was redone in the correct Zenith blue. Shutters are excellent with no corrosion or paint loss.

Antique and Vintage Collectibles and Curiosities for Sale
Antique and vintage collectibles and curiosities can bring whimsy and wonder to any interior.
Decorating with old scientific instruments, historical memorabilia and vintage musical instruments, as well as other authentic collectibles and curiosities that can be found on 1stDibs, presents an opportunity to create a unique, natural history museum-like atmosphere in your home that can provoke conversation as often as it pays tribute to how far we’ve come in understanding our world.
And bringing collectibles and curiosities into your space is actually on trend — Wunderkammern, or curiosity cabinets, were all the rage in Europe during the 1500s and continued to have adherents there and in the U.S. in the following centuries. Today, however, they’re experiencing a real surge in popularity and influencing how many interior designers are furnishing and decorating homes — combining contemporary with antique, scientific with tribal, earthly with extraterrestrial, Les Lalanne tables with Flemish tapestries.
The original Wunderkammern were entire rooms filled with objects demonstrating their owners’ worldly knowledge: A proper one included artificiala or preciosa (objets d’art); naturalia (such as skeletons, shells, minerals); exotica (taxidermy or dried plants); and scientifica (scientific instruments), frequently alongside religious relics and ancient artifacts.
Pay tribute to a history of rich and diverse musical traditions that have taken shape all over the world by decorating your home with a collection of antique and vintage musical instruments — with a little help from strong hanging wire or some wall hooks, vintage brass instruments such as a gong, French horn or trumpet can help elevate a home office or complement the efforts you’ve made to ensure a welcoming vibe in your home’s entryway. Bells or antique wind instruments can add provocative metallic contrasts to dark woods as tabletop decorative objects.
Create an intriguing focal point with Georgian scientific instruments, such as stick barometers with mahogany cases or lacquered brass telescopes. These items stem from an era named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who ruled England in succession starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign, which lasted until 1837). Just as there was beautiful jewelry produced during the period that today is coveted by collectors, there is much to be found in the collectibles and curiosities realm too.
Wanderlust, nostalgia and a shared love of good design are contributing factors to certain trends in decorating — just as vintage trunks and luggage have reappeared as furniture or home accents in a bedroom or foyer, decorating with globes, maps or nautical objects is similarly rooted in the allure of travel and a penchant for the stylish finishing touch that collectibles bring to our homes.
Find a wide range of antique and vintage collectibles and curiosities on 1stDibs.
