Hand Engraved Glass Art Table Plaque Depicting Child Jesus Blessing the Land
About the Item
Joyful and colorful, Van Gogh-esk work of religious art with maker's monogram.
Because we are always looking for the rarest and most beautifully hand-crafted antiques, we 'regularly' also purchase items that we have never seen before and of which we cannot find others anywhere in the world. When it comes to this work of art we even are not entirely sure which techniques the artist used to create it. What we do know is that it are works of art like this that truly make us love our vocation. Also, because this here work of beauty ticks all the boxes. In this remarkable piece you can see the child Jesus blessing the land or maybe He is blessing the harvest. It is the sign of His right hand (with the index and middle finger sticking out) and the golden halo around His head that immediately told us what we were looking at (in terms of meaning). The purity (or naivity) of the design and the vibrant colors really make this antique like nothing we have ever seen, especially when it comes to works of religious art. The wooden and pure Art Deco-in-style base makes it look like this gem was created in the 1920 or 30's. Have you also noticed how the special blue color of the wooden base in which this art glass panel is placed is exactly the same as the blue sky in the enameled glass panel? The top of the wooden base also is exactly in line with that blue sky. The entire scene of this religious eyecatcher is hand-engraved into a pitch black glass 'panel' (it does not let any light through). The black lines that are still in the scene are the only thing left of the original black glass surface, it is almost like cloisonne. We have asked a glass specialist who had never seen anything like this either, but he assured us that this can only be the work of a master glass-artist, because this is a very rare and specialised, difficult to execute technique. With what we have told you so far, you can already guess that we also don't know who the artist was, but there must be someone out there who does. It is not easy to price a unique work of art of such rarity, quality, beauty and deeper meaning, but we think we have, again, priced it very fairly. Especially since pieces of much lesser quality and beauty (or meaning) often command much higher prices in galleries all around the world. And our fair price even includes perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
Maximum width x height x depth including the wooden stand: 18.5 x 14.2 x 5.5 inches.
Height x width of the glass art plaque: 13.4 x 13.4 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

- Antique Hand Carved Large Size Statue of Saint Joseph and Child Jesus SculptureLocated in Lisse, NLLarge and high quality carved antique sculpture of Joseph holding the child Jesus. If you are looking for a great value for money, work of religious art then this quality carved church relic could be gracing your home or monastery or house of prayer soon. This may not have been carved out of the most expensive or hard woodtype, but that is not what this antique is about. This striking and meaningful sculpture is all about the natural manner in which both the little boy Jesus and Saint Joseph have been hand-carved out of wood and how an accomplished sculptor clearly has spent a whole lot of time, focus and dedication to get the details of this large and meaningful sculpture very right. In this case, the hands and feet, the curly hair, the serene facial expressions, the perfectly natural body postures AND the perfect draping of the cloths are the most eye-catching details. Ones that most mortals would never be able to create like this and it will have taken this skilled artisan weeks rather than days to create. We believe that this unique antique is made of basswood or pine and it has been hand patinated (original). This was probably done to make the entire sculpure look more warm and calm (no wood grains taking away anything from the beautiful details we described). This meaningful and quality crafted work of religious art is ready for you to enjoy and, to us, it breathes a holy serenity and beauty that will never fail to impress. No matter where you decide to have it on display, this ecclesiastical antique will never fail to impress and if you already have a place in mind for 'them' then maybe you should be their next custodian. Mind you, our price for this hand carved antique church statue...Category
