Rare Art Nouveau Era Corner Bracket / Shelf with Amphictyonis Mask / Sculpture

About the Item

Amazing and hand carved pine wood corner shelf, depicting Amphictyonis, the goddess of wine. The Greek god of wine Dionysos or Bacchus as he was known in Rome, probably is much better known than his female counterpart. Many gods were integrated in all kinds of classical antiques and Bacchus certainly is one of the most famous. This striking mask corner bracket however depicts a much lesser known god(dess). The upside of that is that this work-of-art-corner-bracket actually and factually is extremely rare. And anyone who collects antiques (or decorative items) having to do with wine and its cultural and historical importance will also want to have a sculpture / image of Amphictyonis. To have found her, quality carved out of a beautiful pine and dating from the Art Nouveau era, again felt like a blessing. If you already have a place in mind for her than maybe you should be her next custodian. Mind you, our price for this stunning and rare, Art Nouveau era wall bracket even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 workdays. Maximum height x width x depth when corner mounted: 20 x 12.8 x 14.5 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).

One of a kind, handcrafted display cabinet with a rare religious artefact. This excellent wall display cabinet still opens and closes perfectly and it comes with the original antique glass in the door.
