Stunning firescreen with a famous earth angle, two famous saint paintings and more. With meaningful 'religious art' from centuries-past being one of our specialities we were amazed, not only to find this rare and marvelous fire screen, but also because of its excellent condition. But then again, we think we see that more often, because true beauty, quality and meaningful antiques radiate something that was already there when it was created. This 'something' commands respect and this is why most people take very good care of very special pieces. Since much of what we know now about Christianity and about monastic life in its various 'forms' was given shape since the life of Christ, but possibly mostly so in Gothic / Medieval times, much of this is expressed in European Gothic Art of the past circa 8 centuries. This rare and beautiful fire screen from the early 1800s, which can also be used as a small room divider or a unique work of (decorative) art, is one of those unique Gothic antiques. The hand-carved knight sculptures are 'fun' and meaningful at the same time, because one of them looks a little desperate and the other looks more at piece and in prayer. The hand-carved winged angel in the middle/ on top seems to be overlooking this 'Gesamtkunstwerk'. What makes this antique really stand out and what also makes it complete are the three hand-painted panels inside this screen. Each of the figures portrayed here have dedicated their lifes to doing good, giving love and hope and thus healing people. In the centre is a glorious painting (in medieval style) of Earth Angel St. Raphael and the boy Tobias. The lady Saint on the right, we feel, is Elizabeth of Hungary (1207-1231) and the Saint on the left, we feel, is either Francis de Sales...

Among the rarest survivals of medieval architectural ironwork, this monumental pair of Gothic castle doors (one door-two wings) represents an extraordinary achievement in the art of the medieval blacksmith. Entirely hand forged from wrought iron and assembled with individually forged rivets, the doors embody the engineering skill, defensive requirements, and uncompromising craftsmanship of late medieval France. Unlike the overwhelming majority of surviving castle doors- which rely on heavy oak cores reinforced with iron straps- these remarkable examples are constructed almost entirely of wrought iron plates, braces, and structural members. Such an approach demanded immense quantities of iron, exceptional technical expertise, and hundreds of hours of skilled labor, making doors of this type exceptionally costly to produce and reserved only for the most important fortified spaces. Their bold Gothic silhouette, terminating in a pointed arch, corresponds to the original medieval stone opening from which they originate. Massive diagonal reinforcing members, broad riveted iron plates, forged hinge assemblies, and individually hand-worked rivets form a powerful architectural composition that is as sculptural as it is functional. Every surface tells the story of more than five centuries of existence. The wrought iron retains its rich historic patina, displaying centuries of oxidation, forge textures, hammer marks, laminated iron surfaces, and evidence of traditional forge-welding techniques. The irregular rivet heads, overlapping iron plates, and subtle variations in thickness reveal unmistakable hand craftsmanship impossible to reproduce through modern industrial methods. Architecturally, these doors were almost certainly created for one of the most secure areas of a medieval fortress or château. Their all-iron construction suggests installation within a treasury, armoury, prison, fortified vault, strong room, or other location where maximum security and resistance to fire were essential. Such commissions were reserved for castles of considerable importance and required the work of master blacksmiths operating at the highest level of their craft. Stylistically and technically, the doors date most convincingly to the late 15th to early 16th century (circa 1480–1530). However, the conservative nature of medieval architectural ironwork, together with the Gothic form and traditional forging methods, leaves open the possibility that portions of the construction- or the original commission itself- may extend into the 14th century, making these doors potentially even earlier than their generally accepted dating. Authentic medieval all-wrought-iron castle doors...

Provenance : - Kunsthaus Heinrich Hahn, Frankfurt am Main, sale 16, June 17, 1930, lot 16. - Sotheby's, Amsterdam, Feb. 26, 2006, lot 201. HISTORIC Located between Moselle valley and Meuse valley, framed by the Vosges Mountains on the south side and the duchy of Luxembourg on the north side, the duchy of Lorraine is the result of several partitions. It starts with the 9th century when the Carolingian empire is divided, with Lothar 1st inheriting Lotharingia. In 959 this territory was in turn divided in two; Lower and Upper Lotharingia, the latter being the forebear of the duchy of Lorraine. This duchy was under the rule of the Holy Roman Germanic Empire until 1736 when it was absorbed by the kingdom of France. All along its history the duchy of Lorraine has found itself in the midst of many conflicts. Alliances and feuds marking European history were always particularly sensible in Lorraine where instability was frequent. Because of its geographic position the duchy of Lorraine was also an artistic crossroad. Hence the duchy of Lorraine becomes from the 13th century onwards an important artistic centre where a particular type of Virgin and Child appears. According to professor J. A. Schmoll the characteristics of Lorraine sculpture burgeon around 1280-1300 in the Aube region. It presents “vigorous volumes, restrained movements, rare but solemn gestures and a strong interiorised and stern expression”. Those Virgins look similar with a wide forehead, a shield- or oval-shaped face, large neck, small lips and a cleft chin. This model is particularly in favour during the 13th century because of the revival for Marial worship and for the theme of the Virgin and Child. It bears witness to a new religious sensibility with a more intimate vision of religious practice. DESCRIPTION The important 14th century Virgin we present to you is one of the most beautiful examples of sculptural art from Eastern France, with her fascinating distant gaze. Her contrapposto posture is induced by the weight of the child she carries high on her left side. The child has a chubby face framed by blond hair with well defined curls and he wears a long red V-collared tunic from which emerge his feet. The fabric is animated by long folds. The position of the right foot turned to the back is a detail we can notice on several Virgins from Lorraine. He holds a bird that seems to be pecking his thumb. “The bird /held by the child in his hands/ has been read as a reference to an episode from Christ’s childhood when he has moulded sparrows with clay before giving them life. It appears in the apocryphal gospel of Pseudo-Matthew (ch. 27) and later in the Quran (III, 43, v. 110). However the iconography seems to be more influenced by the concept of Redemption or of Eucharist, the bird symbolising the soul of the Christian about to be redeemed or revitalised.” Mary wears a long dress with two rock crystal cabochons remaining from the original five. She is covered by a red cloak enriched with old-gold motifs draped as an apron falling in long pleats along her left hip. The relief treatment and the volume of the cloak developing a network of concentric pleats contrast with the the flat pleating of her dress. They nevertheless suggest the curve of her bent right leg. She wears a floret crown securing a short thin veil carved in very low relief. From it emerges her blond curled hair characteristic of the 13th century. The large face with almond-shaped eyes, straight nose, small lips and cleft chin casts its gaze afar in a fashion typical of 13th century Virgins. In her right hand she holds a lily flower. In a very refined manner the artist has carved a band on her right ring-finger. In the back, carefully sculpted, spreads the minutely detailed short veil. COMPARATIVE STUDIES This sculpture of great quality presents obvious similarities with Virgins from Lorraine, designated by William Forsythe...
