Antique & Large Size Gothic Revival Wrought Iron & Transparent Glass Lantern
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning, top quality made antique pendant in the Gothic style.
If you are a collector of rare and ancient looking Gothic antiques then this large size and possibly 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, beauty and quality more than made our day. Also, because this all hand-crafted specimen is, except for the glass, completely original and in superb condition. What makes this stylishly blackened specimen stand out from the other Gothic lights that we have sold over the years, is the thickness of the forged wrought iron parts and its relatively clean-lined design. The forged iron is thick and strong and that too is why this large lantern light...

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...

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 to 6 days.

Antique Gothic Revival Reliquary Wall Cabinet Brass Angels Reliquiae Sanctorum
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and highly collectible antique Gothic wall cabinet with working lock and key.
This handcrafted and rare Gothic Revival wall cabinet from the late 1800s or early 1900s is another one of our magnificent recent finds. The uniqueness of the design, the quality of the workmanship, the many Gothic details, the patina and its excellent condition makes this another perfect purchase for collectors of this ancient and highly decorative style. Even more so when you have a special interest in collecting reliquary items, because this cabinet was made purely for that purpose. This is pretty clear to see by the small size of the square cabinet itself, but even more so by the hand sawn brass text at the bottom 'RELIQUIAE SANCTORUM' which means Relics of Saints. The former owner / collector told us that this piece originated from a convent in the southeast of the Netherlands, but he could no longer remember the name. If it was made in the Netherlands or in another European country, is something we don't know. What we do know is that this cabinet is laced with Christian and Gothic decorations, such as the descending bird: And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him. The bird coming down from the sky in the door of this cabinet is doing so between a pair of Gothic church like windows (with tilted quatrefoil symbols in the top). The larger, winged angels on either side of the cabinet as well as the cross in the top center too are all handsawn out of thick brass. Finally, the hand sawn PAX sign stands...
