About the Item

Very rare 'biblical carving' depicting Abraham, Isaac and the angel. Because of the rarity, the importance and the deeper meaning of this incredibly well carved wooden church sculpture, we were immediately sold when we first saw it. This offering of Isaac by Abraham sculpture is the only one of its kind that we have ever seen and with the great many details this clearly is the work of a master carver. This incredibly detailed sculpture had to first be drawn on paper and then it must have taken the sculptor weeks rather than days to fully hand-carve it. It is highly likely that the polychrome painting of this church relic was done by yet another specialized artisan and the 'finished product' is among the best we have ever seen. With this being one of the most important and best known biblical stories in Western / Christian civilization, we are certain that this rare collectible will again be gracing a house of prayer or a private collection soon. Even with the lower fragment of the angel's body and some other details missing (such as the blade of the sword Abraham is holding) this one of a kind antique is great value for money. There are so many (symbolic) details and this composition is so well balanced that this piece will never fail to impress. Have you also noticed the 'lamb of god' tucked away in the lower left corner, behind the logs of wood? The artist clearly used every inch of this wood carving to create the richest sculpture anyone could ask for. As you can see in our photos, this church relic can both be used on the wall (via a strong metal hook on the back) or free standing on a table. If antique religious art in general and church carvings depicting biblical scenes in particular is one of your passions in life then this good size, very rare and superb quality workmanship sculpture could be flying your way soon. Mind you, our price even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 19.3 x 15.3 x 4 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic and meaningful and thus for craftsmanship of years gone by.

Antique Bronze Religious Art Sculpture / Statue Depicting Christ with Children

Located in Lisse, NL

19th century finest bronze group statue. This excellent quality and very refined sculpture of Christ with children is another one of our recent great finds. Anyone who knows what it takes to create a bronze sculpture from start to finish realizes how special these works of art really are. For us to have found this rare, antique specimen more than made our day. Firstly, because we love the subject matter and secondly, because antique bronzes always are the best when it comes to the details and the patina. Both the serenity in Jesus' face and the way His cloth is perfectly draped around His sitting body are details that never fail to impress. The angelic faces of the two children who are clearly enjoying to be in His presence, make this meaningful and striking sculpture even more pleasant to look at. This handcrafted and antique work of beauty simply warms your heart and it will look marvelous, no matter where you decide to have it on display. Our price for this work of religious art...
