Antique Pair of Hand Carved Gothic Wall Brackets / Corbels for Saint Statues etc
Located in Lisse, NL
Matching and large pair of Gothic church wall brackets / display shelfs.
If you are a private collector of Gothic antiques or if you are looking for the perfect pair of Gothic Revival wall brackets for your church or monastery then this stunning pair could be perfect for you. These early 1900s antiques are all handcrafted out of solid oak with some solid pine on the back and bottom.

They are ideal for displaying Saint statues or any other type of religious art but with stylish candle holders on top they will look marvelous also.

Gothic Dragons Base Wrought Iron Altar Crucifix with Bronze Sculpture of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique table crucifix and a stunning work of religious art.
For us the most powerful statement will always be 'the truth will set you free'. It is what we have learned most from the life of Christ and of His teachings and it is the one thing we always think about whenever we look at a crucifix. Anyone who has tried to break down his/her ego and found a clearer consciousness in the process knows how healing and rewarding that journey can be. After that you can only be grateful for all the good things that are bound to come your way. Good things will come you way, because the universe needs people like you. Both the beautifully designed and sizable wrought iron cross and the antique bronze corpus of Christ have an amazing patina and together they make this meaningful antique a true work of beauty. We had never before seen a wrought iron table cross and because of the coldness of the material and because it can be extremely time consuming to make one, it is not the first material of choice for most craftsman. However, when it is done with this kind of top quality workmanship then that changes everything. The sharpness of the details and the symmetry of the execution of this cross are second to none and what takes this Gothic altar...

Religious Artifacts and Antiques for Sale on 1stDibs
Religious art has had an enduring and significant role throughout history and continues to resonate with modern audiences. Over the years, vintage and antique religious artifacts have become popular with collectors and the devout alike, and religious art has been used to express devotion across a range of media.
Historic examples of religious art remain evocative. From the Renaissance to 1800, many Old Masters actively explored sacred themes from Christianity. In the Baroque period, painters infused religious scenes with intense emotions through the technique of chiaroscuro, which uses strong contrasts between light and dark.
From the 18th to 19th century, Gothic Revival saw designers using elements that evoked the Middle Ages. Artists found inspiration in the romantic qualities of medieval paneling, furniture and other accoutrements, such as candelabras, statues and crosses. Works created in the Gothic style add drama and a grandiose elegance to any room.
Religious art reflects the diversity of beliefs around the world. Islamic art and Judaica are just a couple of examples of the vibrant expression that has coursed through faith-based art over the centuries. Sculptures have long depicted the image of Buddha, while intricately carved reliefs have stunningly depicted deities from Hinduism, like Ganesh. Members of Nepalese religions that emphasize shamanism have made ornate drums, artistically enhanced with images of animals like birds.
In some cases, artisans have created pieces that celebrate specific religious holidays such as the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. But even everyday items are an opportunity to bring both art and religion into a space. For example, designers of furniture over the years have drawn on elements found in cathedrals and other religious settings in order to elevate their work.
On 1stDibs, find a varied collection of antique and vintage religious artifacts and other objects that can be searched by style, period, artist and material, such as wood or metal.
