Rare Set of Christian Art Deco Bronze Jesus, Mary & Angel Wall Plaques by Norga
Located in Lisse, NL
Rare set of three, good size and mint condition works of religious art. This group of three bronze works of art (deco) all depict biblical scenes and they can be placed and worshipped in all kinds of settings. Meaningful and perfectly handcrafted works of religious art like these were mostly used in monasteries, private homes, but also on the more expensive cemeteries. The one on the left depicts Mother Mary and John the Baptist as they mourn over the body of Christ right after He was taken from the cross. The bronze plaque in the middle, we believe, depicts the third station where Jesus falls for the first time. The third bronze depicts a beautiful Arch Angel kneeling...

Antique Crucifix with A Unique Tree Trunk Style Wooden Cross & Corpus of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and perfectly balanced crucifix with a marvelous cross and a detailed corpus of Jesus. This unique design crucifix comes with an incredibly detailed and top quality carved, circular, tree trunk-like cross. We have never seen such a cross before and it must have taken one highly skilled sculptor / artisan a very long time to create. The corpus of Christ too comes with beautiful details and it has the most amazing patina. We have sold some rare and good quality crucifixes over the years and this finely detailed corpus on this rare wooden cross is right up there with the most unique. Some crucifixes come with sculptures of Christ in terrible agony, but the serene face of this Christ reflects nothing but piece and calm. Both alive and deceased He was in a different realm and that is what the sculptor (in our view) has perfectly managed to capture. Have you also noticed the original and stylish INRI sign at the top? Furthermore, this antique crucifix...

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.
