Leather & Bronzed Metal Gothic Revival Photo Album w. Gilt Pages Antique Photos
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique and very rare Gothic photo book filled with French photos from circa 1860-1880.
Over the decades we have bought and sold many Gothic Revival antiques from almost all the centuries since Gothic pieces have been around. This however is the first time that we ever found a pure Gothic photo album. This hand-crafted album dates from circa 1870-1890 and some of the antique photos are even older. The most eyecatching features (when this album is closed) are ofcourse the large, bronzed metal, Gothic hinges and they even still open and close perfectly on the side where this album closes and opens. Another great feature is the embossed leather Gothic decoration on the spine of this rare antique. It includes two Gothic trefoil symbols for the trinity, making this rare antique also a meaningful one. The guilded outsides of the pages makes it resemble the outsides of many large antique bibles and the multitude of photos inside (many Parisian) are images that tell part of the story of what life was like (for the well to do) in the mid 1800s in France. Besides the clothes and furniture, the facial expressions also have a story to tell. If you have an eye for those things then this Gothic album...

Large Gothic Revival Medieval Wrought Iron & Cathedral Glass Pendant / Lantern
Located in Lisse, NL
All handcrafted, hexagonal Gothic light lantern.
If you are a collector of rare and ancient looking Gothic antiques then this good size and possibly one of a kind pendant could be flying your way soon. With antique light fixtures as one of our specialties, we know how rare Gothic lanterns are and we are certain this fine specimen will find its way to a good home too. Also, because this all hand-crafted, Gothic Revival pendant completely original and in very good condition. The natural wear has only made this rare fixture more beautiful and its authentic, Medieval look and feel will never fail to impress. It may have originally hung in the entrance of a home in France or maybe above the main entrance of a medieval style chateau or castle, we are not sure. What we are quite certain of is that it is highly unlikely that we or you will ever find another one like it. The stylized Gothic rosettes above and below the Gothic church window-like panels in all six sides are just some of the wonderful features that make this work of lighting art so authentic and desirable. This light even comes with the original, antique cathedral glass...
