About the Item

Stunning and practical size, multi purpose Gothic chest / box from a monastery. This here Gothic chest is one of the smallest yet most stylish we ever had the pleasure of offering. It is entirely hand-crafted and hand carved out of solid oak and tiger oak and it has a beautiful patina. What also makes this chest stand out from almost all other pieces that we have ever seen is that there are Gothic crosses on top of the stunningly handcarved front with the pair of Gothic church window-like panels. The bookpage / letter panels on the sides too are very well carved and in superb condition. Have you also noticed how this antique chest is put together with the same techniques that they used in Medieval times? The stylish and great workmanship connections with the wooden oak dowels are clear to see and they too are a sign of the great quality and durability of this unique antique. The lid on top still opens and closes perfectly thanks to the equally well crafted and extremely durable, wrought iron hinges. This beautiful and quality crafted still stands as strong and stable as the day it was handmade and according to its former owner this chest was initially for a monastery in the east of Holland. This also explains why this unique chest is practically mint, because monks usually looked after their material posessions better than most people would. If you appreciate the uniqueness, the quality and the pure Gothic design as much as we do then you will love our price for this chest. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Measures: Maximum width x height x depth: 25.2 x 20.5 x 17.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Stunning Handcrafted Late 1800s Gothic Casket with Peacock & Gargoyle Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Beautiful and rare Gothic Revival treasure box with bronze handle. If you are a collector of antique boxes and/or if you are looking for an extraordinary jewelry box to grace your credenza or side table then this unique and top quality made specimen in the Gothic style could be perfect. Gothic Revival boxes are very hard to find and we have never seen one with such prodigious carvings on all sides. The unique and cat-like dragon gargoyles (with fangs) that look like they are carrying this casket, are just some of the stunningly carved and detailed sculptures that make this antique rarity even more artistic and impressive. Another great feature are the peacock sculptures. In Christianity the peacock is the symbol of purity. Christians believe that once someone has passed their soul rises and goes to heaven. This is why in earlier times Christians would spread the feathers of a peacock over the deceased since it symbolized a pure soul that was immune to corruption. The peacock also represents immortality, resurrection, and the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian church. Have you also noticed the top quality details on both ends of the bronze handle on top? The quality of that ornamental work is of the absolute highest standard also. There are many more incredibly beautiful, hand carved details and together they show that no expense was spared to create one of the most amazing Gothic caskets...
