Large Antique Hand Carved Wood Black Forest Wall Plaque W. Crucifix Behind Glass
Located in Lisse, NL
Museum quality and condition work of religious art with amazing, hand carved details.
This amazingly hand carved wooden wall plaque is not only of great quality and condition, it also has a patina that is unlike anything you ever saw. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and interesting crucifixes, but we had not yet come across one that is inside such a beautiful branches and leaf frame in the Swiss Black Forest style. For us to have found it in this amazing condition again felt like a blessing and we are grateful to be able it to offer it to our 1stdibs clientele first. At the centre of this Christian-work-of-art-wall-plaque and behind the original, mouth-blown convex glass 'window' is an even more detailed sepiolite sculpture of Christ on the cross. The details in this crucifix sculpture...

Stunning Victorian Lighting Gothic Brass & Mouth Blown Art Glass Pendant Lantern
Located in Lisse, NL
Graceful and all handcrafted antique light fixture.
This early Arts & Crafts era pendant has an aesthetic beauty that you don't find anymore in this day and age. It has the most pleasing to the eye shape and amber color and the handcrafted brass has a marvelous patina. In images 2 and 3 you can see that this unique light fixture started its life as (and still is) a candle lantern. Because of the Gothic quatrefoil details this may have been a sanctuary lamp at the entrance of a church or monastery. The beautifully patinated brass is all hand-crafted, but the unique art glass shade with its unique hand-etched, flowery patterns and amazing color is what makes this antique truly special. Have you also noticed the 'stand-alone' etched oak branches with acorns? They symbolize growth and unlimited potential since an acorn can grow into a huge oak tree that, by itself, can seed an entire forest. Both with the light switched on and off you could not wish for a more stylish, European antique fixture. It is of the kind that you certainly don't find anymore in this day and age. This ideal hallway or bedroom pendant light...

Largest Antique & Top Quality Hand Carved Gothic Revival Barometer & Thermometer
Located in Lisse, NL
Exceptional and unique, 3 feet tall, Gothic Revival wall barometer, circa 1890.
This unique antique from the second half of the 19th century, in our view, is the dream of anyone with a Gothic (inspired) interior. This design could not be more Gothic and to have found a barometer of this size and with this many Gothic details, again, felt like a blessing. And even though we had to pay-up to be able to acquire it, when you find an antique that is this rare and good then you should always try to buy it. This monumental and solid nutwood antique barometer is entirely hand carved and, as you can see in our photos, the workmanship is second to none. This work of Gothic wall art is perfectly symmetrical and we love the fact that only the large church pilars are carved in a different pattern. This rare design feature, to us, shows the creative nature of its designer. We also love the many Gothic church spires on top and the way this entire 'composition' is superbly balanced. There also is small 'ledge' underneath the barometer and thermometer, possibly for displaying some small sculptures. The only downside would be that the inside of the barometer/thermometer is not squeaky clean. Maybe it is easy to open the front of the barometer, but we have no experience with that. Have you also noticed the amazingly detailed Gothic leafs at the top of both the large pilars? They too display the amazing workmanship of a seasoned craftsman. Besides the enormous height and width, what also makes this rare barometer truly impressive is its depth, because this almost gives you the idea of looking at a magnificent barometer through 3D glasses. All these top quality and impressive details together make this Gothic barometer...

The Christmas Book
Located in New York City, NY
A visual celebration of Christmas, from religious beginnings to festive cultural touchstones – a book to treasure
This book is a unique and groundbreaking visual celebration of Christmas, a joyous religious and cultural occasion observed by billions of people around the world. The origins of Christmas are in the Christian observance of the birth of Christ on 25 December and, since the early 20th century, it has become a secular holiday with a myriad decorations, rituals, and themes. Key themes covered include advent and the nativity; the Christmas tree and holiday decorations; gift giving and carol singing; classic Christmas films; and festive music. This extraordinary book showcases a broad spectrum of global festive traditions from many different cultures, such as fried chicken eaten for Christmas dinner, surfing Santas, and shoes filled with carrots.
A collection of more than 200 rich and evocative images, paintings, books, prints, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, and photography, thoughtfully paired to highlight similarities and contrasts between them, the works included feature a diverse range of both lesser-known and iconic artists, including Sandro Botticelli, Grandma Moses, Beatrix Potter, Norman Rockwell, Andy Warhol, and many more.
These significant works cover festive topics such as Advent; the Christmas tree and holiday decorations; gift giving and carol singing; and classic Christmas films and music. Essays by Sam Bilton, Dolph Gotelli and David Trigg explore traditional festive food and drink, Santa Claus throughout history, and the religious origins of Christmas.

Last Supper Murano Aventurine Blown Ruby Glass Goblet Lultima Cena Leonardo

The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci on a Murano ruby red blown glass with aventurine stem goblet. The quality of the Renaissance style painted enamel and depth of surface is extraordinary and well represented in the photos. The Neoclassical and Renaissance Revival glassware of Murano was responsible for the revival of the industry in the 19th century and has provided an economic base to the industry ever after. The trade commonly refers to this style of work as style of Salviati based upon the 19th century firm and documented examples in major museum collections. I attribute this example to Seguso based upon labels found in past auction...

Antique Gilt Bronze & Brass & Glass Gothic Sanctuary Lamp / Church Candle Light
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning 19th century Gothic art, four arms candle pendant with gargoyle sculptures and much more.
This late 1800s church relic truly has an aura of religiousness about it. This sanctuary pendant is entirely handcrafted and for the most part in solid bronze with a large number of stunning and pure Gothic elements. With churches and monasteries being among the wealthiest of institutions in 19th century Europe it often is there where the best quality crafted items were found. This remarkable sanctuary lamp certainly is no exception to that rule. With a multitude of thick bronze quatrefoil and trefoil symbols in the bowl shaped base this antique church relic clearly could not be more Gothic in style. It does not stop there though, because the four arms are entirely created out of scrolling branches with grape leafs and grape bunches, together symbolising the blood of Christ. Together with the unique canopy with the four gilt bronze gargoyle...
