About the Item

One of a kind, handcrafted display cabinet with a rare religious artefact. This excellent wall display cabinet still opens and closes perfectly and it comes with the original antique glass in the door. Finding antiques with the original glass with that beautiful ripple in it, always makes those pieces extra desirable (in our view). The striking acorn and leaf motifs in the handcrafted, molded borders of the door too are very stylish features to enjoy. Over the decades the gilding has slightly warn off, which has created a marvelous patina. Given the style, age and perfect fit, we think that this antique wall cabinet was specifically made for the rare religious fragment that it is holding. If you like this unique display cabinet then you will love the rare fragment it is holding. From the missing pieces on the sides you can see that this Virgin Mary and child Jesus plaque/sculpture originally was larger. However, the most important part is still here. And what makes this sculpture extra rare and special is the fact that Mary is about to breastfeed baby Jesus. That depiction in antique works of religious art is a rare find. What we like most about this image, is that it shows the miracle of a female creating food for her child AND how this image makes Mary look so very human, if you know what I mean. This handcrafted and hand painted plaque fragment is made of plaster and from the damage on the sides you can see that it is strengthened with a lot of natural fibers. We date the cabinet from 1900-1920, but the fragment is at least 19th century and possibly older. We purchased the set in the Netherlands, but it could very well be made in a different European country. Our price for this rare and meaningful antique even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth of the cabinet: 34.5 x 22.8 x 7.4 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

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...
