Early 19thc Scrimshaw and Walnut Hand Carved with Heart Cutlery Caddy
About the Item
Scrimshaw is the art of carving bone, ivory, or other materials. It was a popular pastime for whalers in the 19th century, who created decorative and utilitarian objects. This very utilitarian cutlery caddy came from an estate on Boston's Beacon Hill from an avid Early American collector.
Hand-carved of walnut and featuring a heart and scrimshaw on the handle and four corners, it truly is a charming folk art piece. Fast forward two centuries and it make a great place to store your remotes.

Museum Quality Hand Crafted Bronze Corpus of Jesus Christ fr Wall Mounting 19thC
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning, one of a kind bronze corpus of Christ.
The meaning of this antique sculpture obviously needs no explanation. However, not everybody looks at the corpus of Christ with the same ideas and emotions. And each individual may also have different emotions and ideas depending on his or her state of mind at a certain moment in the day or at a certain time in his or her life.

If it speaks to us then almost always there will also be someone else who sees the beauty, deeper meaning, quality, style and uniqueness. This particular corpus stands out for its exceptional physical details and its painful facial features. We also rarely seen an antique Christ sculpture...
