Arts & Crafts Tabernacle with Solid Silver Mary & Archangel Gabriel Panels, 1910
About the Item
Religious artefact with stunning embossed and inlaid silver plaques.
Antique tabernacles are a rare find, so when we got the chance to purchase this early 20th century example we did not think twice. Especially, because of the stunning and sterling silver religious panels inside the doors and 'roof'. All handcrafted in Europe in the transitional period between the Jugendstil and the Art Deco era, these silver panels represent some of the most stylish and artistic religious art that you will ever come across. Because of the top-quality crafted silver panels and expecting to find makers marks underneath the wooden framework, we decided to carefully take out the Virgin Mary panel. It learned us that this solid silver insert weighs close to 2 pounds, but we found no marks. We decided not to research this religious piece any further, put the silver panel back in place and decided to offer it without knowing who the incredibly skilled designer and metalworker is. The embossed Virgin Mary panel with the Latin text 'AVE GRATIA PLENA' in bas-relief is in excellent condition. So is the stunning silver panel depicting the archangel Gabriel holding the lily flowers. The stylized silver dove with the fully spread wings, representing (the spirit of) Jesus has one dent in the right wing (close to its body), but otherwise it too is in the best possible condition. We have not entirely polished the silver panels so that the depth and the details stand out even more.
The black lacquered, geometric wooden cabinet itself is in the Art Deco style and there is some wear to the surface (as shown in some of our images). Also, the lock has at some point in time been replaced and we have no key to the current lock. This is a two-piece tabernacle and the roof can be taken off. The interior has some staining to the white cloth, but the cloth can easily be replaced and in the middle is the original, copper rod for holding small curtains (see image 3 and 4).
This unique and perfectly handcrafted, religious relic is an absolute joy to own and look at and a real collector's item. An ecclesiastical antique that you find once in your lifetime and great value for money. Also, because perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door within 4 days are complimentary.
Maximum height x width x depth: 32.1 x 21.6 x 16.7 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Unique Large Arts & Crafts Brass Pendant Light with Glass Mosaic Shades 1910
Located in Lisse, NL
Good size, marvelous design and truly stylish inlaid 'chunky glass' ceiling fixture.
With early 20th century light fixtures being one of our specialities, finding a unique Arts and Crafts pendant always makes our heart jump. Every designer knows that getting a truly striking design on paper is very difficult, but finding the right artisan to perfectly execute it is at least as big of a challenge. In this case the maker must have been a highly skilled craftsman, because the execution and the finish of this truly beautiful pendant are simply marvelous.
What makes this hand-crafted light fixture extra special are ofcourse the inlaid and large chunks of transparent glass combined with large and smaller stained glass chunks in beautiful amber color.
Both with the light switched on and off, all these uniquely shaped pieces of glass make this pendant a work of art on your ceiling.
Over the many decades the color (or patina) has made this light even more beautiful and this elegant design after more than 100 years still is as appealing as the day it was made. This perfect size pendant survived two world wars and for all the crude and organical looking glass 'chunks' to still be in there AND for this light to still be this pretty and complete is like an ode to both the maker and to this lights' former owners. They clearly understood what it takes to both create and take care of something that is truly beautiful. If you have an Arts and Crafts house or if you are a collector of this sophisticated, early 20th century style then this unique pendant could be gracing your living space soon. We think it will look great in the living room of an apartment or in a hallway. No matter where you decide to use it, this superb quality crafted and excellent condition light brings class and style in your home like no modern light fixture ever could.. If you like this one of a kind light as much as we do and if you already have a space in mind for it then maybe you should be the next custodian(s). This rare light also is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and our price even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Current height x diameter: 40 x 28 inches.
Height without the rod and canopy: 15 inches.
Diameter of the canopy: 5 Inches.
We can also shorten the height to one that will be perfect for you.
We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed — and we look forward to serving you (again).
