Antique Crucifix w. Bronze Corpus and Stunning Hand Carved Oakwood Cross

This antique work of religious art consists of a top quality carved, oakwooden cross and a superbly hand-crafted bronze corpus of Christ with a beautiful patina.

Roman Italy and Provinces: A Cartographic Snapshot, 1880
Located in Langweer, NL
The map titled "ITALIA, Gallia Cisalpina, Sicilia, Sardinia, Corsica" focuses on Italy and its surrounding regions during Roman times. It offers a detailed depiction of the Italian peninsula, the Po Valley (Gallia Cisalpina), and the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica.
Produced as part of the "Spruner-Menke Atlas Antiquus" by Karl Spruner von Merz and edited by Theodorus Menke, this map reflects the 19th-century European scholarship on ancient geography and history.
The period represented is likely during the Roman Republic or early Roman Empire, suggested by the level of detail in regions like Latium and Campania, which were central to Roman culture and power. This era was marked by Roman expansion and consolidation of the Italian peninsula, as well as the Punic Wars, which led to Roman dominance over the Mediterranean.
What makes this map interesting is its:
1. **Rich Detail**: The map delineates the intricate network of Roman roads, cities, and colonies, showing the infrastructure that facilitated Roman administration and control.
2. **Strategic Locations**: It identifies strategic locations like harbors and passes, crucial for trade and military campaigns.
3. **Geographic Accuracy**: It reflects the geographical knowledge of the time, with an accurate representation of the topography that shaped the development of these regions.
4. **Cultural and Historical Sites**: Insets of important sites like Syracuse offer a closer look at places of historical significance.
5. **Educational Purpose**: The map was designed to aid in the study of Roman history, providing a visual tool for understanding the ancient world...

Large Antique Hand Carved Wood Black Forest Wall Plaque W. Crucifix Behind Glass

Museum quality and condition work of religious art with amazing, hand carved details.
This amazingly hand carved wooden wall plaque is not only of great quality and condition, it also has a patina that is unlike anything you ever saw. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and interesting crucifixes, but we had not yet come across one that is inside such a beautiful branches and leaf frame in the Swiss Black Forest style. For us to have found it in this amazing condition again felt like a blessing and we are grateful to be able it to offer it to our 1stdibs clientele first. At the centre of this Christian-work-of-art-wall-plaque and behind the original, mouth-blown convex glass 'window' is an even more detailed sepiolite sculpture of Christ on the cross.

Stunning Handcrafted Late 1800s Gothic Casket with Peacock & Gargoyle Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Beautiful and rare Gothic Revival treasure box with bronze handle.
If you are a collector of antique boxes and/or if you are looking for an extraordinary jewelry box to grace your credenza or side table then this unique and top quality made specimen in the Gothic style could be perfect. Gothic Revival boxes are very hard to find and we have never seen one with such prodigious carvings on all sides. The unique and cat-like dragon gargoyles (with fangs) that look like they are carrying this casket, are just some of the stunningly carved and detailed sculptures that make this antique rarity even more artistic and impressive.
Another great feature are the peacock sculptures. In Christianity the peacock is the symbol of purity. Christians believe that once someone has passed their soul rises and goes to heaven. This is why in earlier times Christians would spread the feathers of a peacock over the deceased since it symbolized a pure soul that was immune to corruption. The peacock also represents immortality, resurrection, and the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian church.
Have you also noticed the top quality details on both ends of the bronze handle on top? The quality of that ornamental work is of the absolute highest standard also. There are many more incredibly beautiful, hand carved details and together they show that no expense was spared to create one of the most amazing Gothic caskets...
