1930s Collectibles and Curiosities

Powerful bronze sculpture of an athletic and ripped fighter. This sizable and heavy work of art is as beautiful as the day it was handcrafted. Belgian sculptor Jef Lambeaux (1852-1908) had a penchant for capturing the human physique in motion, with sports and erotic scenes as his favourite subject matters. Since he grew up in the second half of the 19th century, he may very well have seen actual price fighters going at each other in boxing matches. This powerful bronze male boxer in full action is just about to launch an inside right whilst protecting his own head with his left arm and right shoulder. His square jaw line and rugged facial features give us the impression that he is as hard they come. The incredibly well developed muscles in his back and legs confirm that notion as well. The stunning patina accentuates the muscular physique of this bronze fighter and he looks marvelous from all angles. Image 13 shows an interesting detail that you don't find in many bronzes. Here you can see that samples were taken from the bottom of the base to determine whether this bronze had the right composition and strength. It clearly passed the test, because otherwise it would have been destroyed. This sizable and heavy bronze fighter with its perfectly captured fighting posture makes a great statement piece on a desk or side table. Our price for this rare and mint bronze boxer...

Good size and great condition Gothic, throne-like armchair. The only way for us to explain the superb condition of this stunning Gothic chair is to assume that it has always been in a church or monastery. It was there where these works of religious art were respected the most and therefor taken care of better than anywhere else. Since churches often also had more funds than most private people, they would also have the best quality pieces made and this armchair too fits that bill. The turned and leafs decorated legs and armrest supports are extremely well carved and in mint condition. The church window like pannels in the back and the sculptural leaf decor on top of the backrest are equally impressive. This kind of quality, style and beauty was already exceptional in those days and in furniture stores in this day and age, nothing new comes even close to the quality and beauty of the craftsmanship displayed in this antique chair. After more than 120 years this incredibly well carved Gothic chair...
