About the Item

Unique wall plaque depicting Madonna and Child. If you are looking for unique works of religious art from earlier times then this large church wall plaque could be the perfect addition to your home or church / parish. In this enormous and all hand carved wall plaque the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus are portrayed sitting on a crescent moon. This symbol ofcourse was not chosen by accident. The crescent moon, in particular, represents motherhood and fertility. It can also be symbolic of growth, creativity, and manifestation and crescent moons also being related to new phases in life, new chapters or a new beginning, the combination of Mary and Jesus and the crescent moon could not have been chosen any better. Some biblical references use the moon symbol to highlight cosmic events, divine epiphanies and the ephemeral nature of human life and history (see, for example, Isaiah 30,26; 60,19; Revelations 21,23). This too explains the deeper meaning behind this very large and impressive church wall sculpture. Over the past decade or two we have seen and sold many works of religious art, but we never before had the pleasure of offering such a unique, large and all hand carved piece out of oakwood. To have found a piece of this size, this great shape and in this beautiful condition more than made our day. It must have taken one highly skilled artist many days if not several weeks to design and execute this highly sculptural and meaningful piece. In this unique piece Mother Mary is depicted sitting on a crescent moon, also signifying her glory and victory over time and space. Thanks to the original and strong metal hook on the back, safely wall mounting this one of a kind antique can be done in a matter of minutes. Again great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 workdays are complimentary. No matter where you may live on our beautiful planet. Maximum height x width x depth: 45.5 x 33 x 5 inches.

Antique Wall Display Cabinet with a Rare Mary & Child Jesus Sculpture Fragment
Located in Lisse, NL
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...

Antique Hand Carved Large Size Statue of Saint Joseph and Child Jesus Sculpture
Located in Lisse, NL
Large and high quality carved antique sculpture of Joseph holding the child Jesus. If you are looking for a great value for money, work of religious art then this quality carved church relic could be gracing your home or monastery or house of prayer soon. This may not have been carved out of the most expensive or hard woodtype, but that is not what this antique is about. This striking and meaningful sculpture is all about the natural manner in which both the little boy Jesus and Saint Joseph have been hand-carved out of wood and how an accomplished sculptor clearly has spent a whole lot of time, focus and dedication to get the details of this large and meaningful sculpture very right. In this case, the hands and feet, the curly hair, the serene facial expressions, the perfectly natural body postures AND the perfect draping of the cloths are the most eye-catching details. Ones that most mortals would never be able to create like this and it will have taken this skilled artisan weeks rather than days to create. We believe that this unique antique is made of basswood or pine and it has been hand patinated (original). This was probably done to make the entire sculpure look more warm and calm (no wood grains taking away anything from the beautiful details we described). This meaningful and quality crafted work of religious art is ready for you to enjoy and, to us, it breathes a holy serenity and beauty that will never fail to impress. No matter where you decide to have it on display, this ecclesiastical antique will never fail to impress and if you already have a place in mind for 'them' then maybe you should be their next custodian. Mind you, our price for this hand carved antique church statue...
