Baroque Style Hand Carved Wooden Crucifix with Stunning Bronze Corpus of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Crucifix from the mid-1800s with a carved shroud or veil depicting Christ in the base. This unique and remarkable antique crucifix can both be used as a table and as a wall crucifix. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and very well crafted crucifixes, but never one in the Baroque style with this combination of materials and techniques. The overall design and size is what stands out first, but the details and the materials are what make this antique work of religious art extraordinary. With four angels (or putti) watching over a sculpture of the Veil of Veronica, the relatively large base of this unique crucifix is a work of religious art in its own right. It is almost as if the cross is growing from this beautiful base and the cross itself too comes with a number of superbly hand carved details. To us, the most remarkable are the three stunning Baroque shells. With their symbolic meaning of birth and resurrection it is obvious why the artist / sculptor so tastefully incorporated them here. Apart from a minor 'lean' to the left, the cross itself too is in excellent condition. If one were to speak of a trinity in this crucifix then the unique base and cross are completed with an equally striking, solid bronze corpus of Christ...

Enzo Mari Travertine and Brass Smoking Set

Fascinating travertine smoking set designed by the great Enzo Mari in the 1970s, of fine Italian manufacture. The brass hallmark is present. The set is entirely made of elegant light travertine and brass. There are four pieces: the ashtray, square in shape with a central ashtray hole and two grooves on the edges for placing cigarettes. A rectangular brass profiled box, useful for storing cigarettes or cigars. On the upper side are travertine-worked lines, which intersect and create a truly elegant effect.
