20th Century String Puppet
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This oddly beautiful, in a tragic way, puppet was made somewhere in the 20th century, as we are uncertain of their specific creation date. The plexiglass case around them was custom made for them specially, and has kept them safe all these years. You are able to take the puppet out of the case and maneuver it around like any other string puppet. They are dressed in a white, silk suit with black pom poms decorating the gown. Their expression is dramatic in a way that you almost cannot tell what emotion they are expressing; it is up to your interpretation. Great as a collectors item. PLEXIGLASS BOX Dimensions: 32.5"H x 10.5"W x 10.5"D We do local delivery close or in Los Angeles for fee. Will calculate shipping...

Antique Marbediah Carpet Israeli Rug
Located in New York, NY
This dazzling Emperor's-style carpet is alive with artistic influences from Europe, the Mediterranean and the Mid East, which all had a powerful effect on Israel's artistic community. The lush mulberry and aubergine field and complementary borders are filled with elaborate Persianate arabesques that have a chic European-influenced complexion. Graceful mandalas and ogival medallions are linked together in a kaleidoscopic pattern that recedes into the corners and extends beyond the edges of the field. Delicate flower-laden vines fill the ornamental medallions and surround the headstrong animals and demure deer that populate the forested field. Detail-rich floral ornaments appear again in the complementary borders, which feature reciprocating coves and open-ended cartouches filled with scrolling vines. Beautifully colored accents in soft green, cerise, ivory and powdery blue add to the unique appearance of this antique Israeli rug...

Antique and Vintage Religious Items

Religious art has had an enduring and significant role throughout history and continues to resonate with modern audiences. Over the years, vintage, new and antique religious items 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 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 items and art that can be searched by style, period, artist and material, such as wood or metal.
