Antique Hand Carved Oak Gothic Church Wall Panel of Saint Agnes Holding Lamb

About the Item

Rare, finest quality and great condition religious wall panel in deep carved relief. This striking, hand carved, symbolical wall panel depicting Saint Agnes holding the lamb in her left and palm leafs in her right hand probably came out of a church niche. The chapel like design with Saint Agnes standing underneath the arch of the Gothic church window-like carvings makes this work of religious art even more ecclesiastical and attractive. Because of the excellent quality in the details and also thanks to the perfect sharpness of the carvings this sculptural plaque can also be enjoyed from further away. Saint Agnes of Rome is one of the youngest Saints ever, because she died at the age of only thirteen. Born into a family of nobles, she lived and died around 300 AD and St. Agnes is widely known as the patron saint of young girls. For reasons having to do with her life and death she is also the patron saint of chastity, engaged couples, rape survivors and the Children of Mary. This is the deepest carved oak wooden panel of this size that we have ever seen and sold and the depth makes the superbly carved Gothic elements and Saint Agnes sculpture stand out even more. Have you also noticed the marvelously carved Lamb and how its lighter color makes it stand out even more? This rare and finer quality carved church relic is in very good condition, it has the most beautiful patina, it will look great no matter where you have her on display and because of the flat base and good depth it can also be placed on a table (as shown in images 5 and 17. Thanks to a brass hook on the back it can easily and safely be mounted on your wall where it can be enjoyed by you and by many generations after you.

Antique Hand Carved Gothic Church Panel of Feeding Pelican as Symbol of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning religious wall panel in thick relief with strong hook for easy mounting. For the collectors of stunning antique church relics we are also offering this marvelously hand carved pelican sculpture for wall mounting. The character ascribed to the pelican in this context is nearly as fabulous as that of the phœnix. From a clumsy, gluttonous, piscivorous water-bird, it was by the growth of legends transformed into a mystic emblem of Christ, whom Dante terms "Nostro Pelicano". St. Hieronymus gives the story of the pelican restoring its young ones destroyed by serpents as an illustration of the destruction of man by the old Serpent, and his salvation by the blood of Christ. The pelican in Christian art is an emblem of Jesus Christ, by "whose blood we are healed" and it is also a symbol of charity. Many early painters and carvers mistakenly represented it more similar to an eagle (much like in this antique church relic), and not as a natural pelican which is why most people today still are a bit confused at first when this stunning hand carved, symbolic bird is called a pelican. This striking and all hand carved, symbolic panel was originally part of a church or monastery communion rail...

Antique and Quality Hand Carved Solid Oak Gothic Church Wall Bracket or Shelf
Located in Lisse, NL
Great looking and deeply carved Gothic Revival bracket for displaying a Saint statue. This Gothic console for wall mounting dates from the late 1800s and it has a marvelous combination of floral Gothic elements that make it a joy to own, to use and to look at. All handcrafted more than 100 years ago and always well taken care of, this Gothic Revival wall bracket has the most wonderful shape and a striking patina. This organic design with its natural, flowing lines of the deeply carved Gothic leaves also give it an almost circular look and feel. This rare church relic was once connected to a church column where it would undoubtedly have been the base for a marvelous Saint statue. If you look closely at the image of the backside, you will be able to see that the rounded part has been professionally flattened out so that it now can be used against a (flat) wall. Apart from a few minor imperfections this Gothic antique of approximately one hundred and fifty years old could not be in better condition. Thanks to the thick wooden opening in the back, mounting this antique bracket...
