"the Bajazzo" Wooden Slot Machine, Art Nouveau Slot Machine

This stunning hand-painted icon from the mid-19th century is a remarkable example of religious art steeped in tradition and spiritual symbolism. Icons have long held a significant role in Orthodox Christianity, serving as windows to the divine and tools for prayer and contemplation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece exemplifies the skill and devotion of its maker. The wooden panel and frame are entirely gilded, lending the icon a luminous and reverent quality. The outlines of the Madonna have been finely etched into the gilding, while her face and hands, along with those of the Christ Child, are delicately painted in oil. This contrast between the warm glow of the gold and the naturalistic rendering of the figures creates a powerful visual and emotional impact. Adding to its authenticity, the base of the icon features a Cyrillic inscription, hinting at its origins and cultural significance. The craftsmanship and style suggest it was created during the mid-19th century, making it not only a sacred object but also an invaluable piece of history. This icon is a perfect addition to any collection of religious art or as a meaningful decorative piece for your home. It can be displayed in a devotional space, hung on a gallery wall, or placed on a shelf to create a focal point that inspires reflection and reverence. Whether you are an experienced collector or a first-time buyer, this gilded icon...
