Antique Polish Icon of the Orthodox Icon of Saint Theodore c1800's

About the Item

Antique Polish Icon of The Great Martyr Theodore Stratelates (our best hypothesis). Our purported Antique Polish Icon of the Orthodox Icon of Saint Theodore the General, Commander, Stratelates, also known as Theodore of Heraclea and came from Asia Minor. Theodore was best known for killing a giant serpent living on a precipice in the outskirts of Euchaita that had devoured many citizens while spreading fear throughout the countryside. St Theodore was then made the military commander in the city of Heraclea. The icon is on a heavy piece of oak and is clearly old and possibly much older than we are indicating.

Located in Chicago, IL
Exquisite Black Forest Chandelier found just outside of Marseille, France. In Europe Black Forest carvings became a symbol of wealth beginning in the 1800’s and were found in the homes of elite collectors. The history of Black Forest carvings dates to the early 1800’s from the town of Brienz in Switzerland. Black Forest carving began as a cottage industry and found a niche market from the local tourist trade.

Old Plank has discovered a treasure trove of Black Forest carved furniture...
