Great Quality Carved & Superb Condition Wooden Corpus Christi on Crucifix, 1900s
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique Arts & Crafts crucifix with stunning hand carved details and an amazing patina. This remarkable and good size sculpture of Christ (who has just bowed His head) on the cross is different to almost all others. The artist who hand-sculpted this impressive work of religious art has created a church relic that, in our view, is second to none. And that is because this uniquely hand carved corpus comes with numerous stylized details that are unlike anything you will have ever seen. It is a style of carving that is very recognizable for being from the European Arts and Crafts...

Museum Quality Bronze of Christ Wall Plaque Sculpture "Jesus Carrying the Cross"
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...

Antique Hand Carved Alabaster Saint Gerard Majella Statue / Gerardo Maiella 1900
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique, hand carved Italian work of religious art. This Gerard Majella sculpture is another one of our recent rare finds. Also, because this could very well have been a grand tour purchase of a very well-to-do traveler. This Italian born Saint was declared blessed in 1893 and in the year 1904 he was canonized. It must have been around that era that this inspired one of the great Italian carvers to create this truly beautiful and serene sculpture of Saint Gerard...

Antique Crucifix with A Unique Tree Trunk Style Wooden Cross & Corpus of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and perfectly balanced crucifix with a marvelous cross and a detailed corpus of Jesus. This unique design crucifix comes with an incredibly detailed and top quality carved, circular, tree trunk-like cross. We have never seen such a cross before and it must have taken one highly skilled sculptor / artisan a very long time to create. The corpus of Christ too comes with beautiful details and it has the most amazing patina. We have sold some rare and good quality crucifixes over the years and this finely detailed corpus on this rare wooden cross is right up there with the most unique. Some crucifixes come with sculptures of Christ in terrible agony, but the serene face of this Christ reflects nothing but piece and calm. Both alive and deceased He was in a different realm and that is what the sculptor (in our view) has perfectly managed to capture. Have you also noticed the original and stylish INRI sign at the top? Furthermore, this antique crucifix...

Extremely Rare Early 1900s Brass Altar Server Set or Church Mass Teaching Set
Located in Lisse, NL
For the collectors of very rare and museum worthy church 'teaching tools'. We had heard of the existence of sets like this, but we had never seen one anywhere. To have found one from the Arts & Crafts era and in this amazing condition more than made our day. Including the altar cards (of which we are not sure if they are original to this set) and including the spoons we have counted 24 pieces in total. We learned that these sets functioned as a training tool for altar boys and this particular set has been extremely well taken care after. The wear on the holy water sprinkler with its ebonized wooden handle shows us that this set has been used more than what the excellent condition brass pieces would lead you to believe. Included in this set are 6 candle holders, a monstrance, a ciborium, a holy water container, a church censer, a boat, a sprinkler with vessel, altar cards, a chalice, an altar bell...

Extra Large Antique Gothic / Medieval Style Wrought Iron & Glass Art Lantern
Located in Lisse, NL
All handcrafted, form a France Castle, Gothic light fixture. If you are a collector of rare and ancient looking Gothic antiques then this large and one of a kind pendant could be flying your way soon. With antique light fixtures as one of our specialities, we know how rare Gothic lanterns are and to have found one of this age, size, design and beauty more than made our day. Also, because this all hand-crafted specimen is completely original and in very good condition. The natural wear has only made this piece more beautiful and its authentic, medieval look and feel will never fail to impress. It may have originally hung in the entrance of a home in France or maybe above the main entrance of a medieval style chateau or castle, we are not sure. What we are certain of is that it is highly unlikely that we or you will ever find another one like it. The forged wrought iron and the hand-crafted metal style elements are just some of the wonderful features that make this work of lighting art so authentic and desirable. This chandelier even comes with the original, antique, green and yellow cathedral glass. Each of the four glass paneled sides is like a stylized medieval shield...

Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display Stand
Located in Lisse, NL
Top quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name. This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us. Our fair price for this museum worthy sculpture again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Total height x width x depth: 74 x 17 x 16.5 inches. Christ bust...

Extra Large Crucifix with Hand Carved Oak Corpus of Christ for Church or Chapel
Located in Lisse, NL
Beautifully carved and large size corpus of Jesus, made in the Arts & Crafts era. This meaningful and unique crucifix from the early 1900s comes with a larger than life, hand carved oak Corpus of Christ. The details in the anatomy of this Christ are very well carved and they clearly reveal the suffering and dehydration that His body endured in the final days of his life. The artist/sculptor is clearly showing us the image of Jesus when or right after he bowed his head and died. The solid oak cross is original to this corpus and it was given a different color so that the unique and impressive corpus stands out perfectly. Have you also noticed the perfectly carved and thick crown of thorns on the head of Christ. The patina of this excellent condition and large corpus is another great feature that will never fail to impress. The former owners gave us the photo that you see in image 3 in this listing and in it you can see where this antique corpus...

Antique Quality Carved Solid Nutwood Christ with Palm Leaf Sculpture / Statuette
Located in Lisse, NL
Finest quality carved sculpture of Jesus with a marvelous patina. This marvelous quality, hand-carved sculpture of our Lord Jesus is among the finest we have ever seen and this truly is a work of religious art. It may be relatively small in size, but both the quality in the details and the beauty of His posture are simply majestic. For the sculptor not to leave his signature on this work of beauty, to us, shows his modesty. We believe that most artists in the religious genre felt that their gift/talent was god given and marking their sculptures, to them, was a sign of too much ego. The highly skilled sculptor must have spent weeks rather than days creating this antique statuette...
