About the Item

* Kindly note that we arrange the shipping ourselves to ensure a smooth, secure, and reliable delivery. This allows us to provide the best possible service and care for your purchase. Unique wall plaque sculpture, depicting Heart of Jesus. We are honored to present this exceptional and rare handcrafted salt-glazed polychrome stoneware wall sculpture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and created in the renowned atelier of Terraco Beesel, the Netherlands, between 1923 and 1950. This substantial piece is a standout example of religious art, combining both powerful symbolism and masterful craftsmanship. The figure of Christ is portrayed in a serene, yet deeply expressive pose, right hand upon His heart, left hand extended in blessing, capturing the spiritual essence of the Sacred Heart devotion. The sculpture is richly decorated with salt glaze, giving it a warm, earthy luster, and subtle color transitions in muted ochre, browns, and blues. The piece shows remarkable attention to detail, from the finely modeled facial features to the flowing robes and delicately rendered wounds in the hands. It is affixed to a cloud-form base and is intended for wall mounting. Despite its age, the sculpture is in beautiful condition with only minor signs of wear consistent with its age. If this unique piece from the early/mid-20th century strikes a cord in you then maybe you should be its next custodian. Again great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. No matter where you may live on our beautiful planet. Maximum height x width x depth: 17 x 6,5 x 3.1 inches. * Excellent antique condition, original glaze, with clear maker's marks on the reverse (see photos). 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). To explore all our 1000+ listings, simply click the button labeled 'View All From Seller’.

Located in Lisse, NL
Stunningly powerful and meaningful work of religious art. With works of religious art being one of our specialties, over the decades we have sold quite a few special antiques in this field. With this bronze antique the artist clearly shows us a fragment out of one of the most famous scenes that took place in the history of mankind. Christ has already been beaten, mocked, given a wreath of thorns and having to carry the enormous cross. As you can see the quality of the details and the workmanship is excellent, but the scene and its meaning ofcourse is even more impressive. Please notice how particularly the facial features reveil the peaceful state of being that lies underneath the exterior of this Christ sculpture...
