Museum Quality Bronze of Christ Wall Plaque Sculpture "Jesus Carrying the Cross"
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunningly powerful and meaningful work of religious art.
With works of religious art being one of our specialties, over the decades we have sold quite a few special antiques in this field. With this bronze antique the artist clearly shows us a fragment out of one of the most famous scenes that took place in the history of mankind. Christ has already been beaten, mocked, given a wreath of thorns and having to carry the enormous cross. As you can see the quality of the details and the workmanship is excellent, but the scene and its meaning ofcourse is even more impressive. Please notice how particularly the facial features reveil the peaceful state of being that lies underneath the exterior of this Christ sculpture...

Extra Large Crucifix with Hand Carved Oak Corpus of Christ for Church or Chapel
Located in Lisse, NL
Beautifully carved and large size corpus of Jesus, made in the Arts & Crafts era.
This meaningful and unique crucifix from the early 1900s comes with a larger than life, hand carved oak Corpus of Christ. The details in the anatomy of this Christ are very well carved and they clearly reveal the suffering and dehydration that His body endured in the final days of his life. The artist/sculptor is clearly showing us the image of Jesus when or right after he bowed his head and died. The solid oak cross is original to this corpus and it was given a different color so that the unique and impressive corpus stands out perfectly. Have you also noticed the perfectly carved and thick crown of thorns on the head of Christ. The patina of this excellent condition and large corpus is another great feature that will never fail to impress. The former owners gave us the photo that you see in image 3 in this listing and in it you can see where this antique corpus...

Antique Map of North and South America by Pierre Antoine Tardieu (1784-1869)
Located in Langweer, NL
This is an original antique map titled "Carte Générale et Politique de l'Amérique," depicting the political and geographical features of North and South America. This map, created by Pierre Antoine Tardieu, illustrates the continent's boundaries, major regions, and significant features as understood in the early 19th century.
Map Details:
- **Title**: Carte Générale et Politique de l'Amérique
- **Creator**: Pierre Antoine Tardieu (1784-1869)
- **Publication Date**: Early 19th century
- **Dimensions**: Approximately 34.5 x 43.5 cm (13.5 x 17.25 inches)
- **Features**: The map includes detailed representations of North and South America, highlighting political boundaries, major cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. The title cartouche is located in the lower right corner, and the outlines are hand-colored to distinguish different regions and countries.
Condition Overview:
1. Paper Quality: The paper shows typical signs of aging, such as slight yellowing, but remains in good condition without major tears or damage.
2. Edges and Corners: The edges are slightly worn, with minor fraying and small tears, particularly near the center fold. These imperfections do not significantly impact the overall readability or aesthetic value.
3. Center Fold: A center fold is present, which is common for maps of this period that were often folded for storage or publication. The fold appears intact without significant separation or damage, except for a small split at the lower end.
4. Color and Print Quality: The hand-colored outlines remain vibrant and clear, highlighting the borders of different regions. The print quality is excellent, with sharp, legible text and detailed illustrations.
5. Staining and Spots: There are a few spots and stains, particularly near the edges and along the fold. These do not obscure any critical details of the map.
Historical Context
Around the year 1800, the Americas were a region of significant political change and exploration. Here’s an overview of the region during that period:
Political Landscape
1. North America:
- United States: The United States was a young nation, having gained independence from Great Britain in 1776. The early 19th century was a period of westward expansion and the establishment of new states.
- Canada: Canada was divided into British colonies, including Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec). The British maintained control over these territories following the American Revolution.
- Mexico: Mexico was part of the Spanish Empire, known as New Spain. It would gain independence from Spain in 1821.
2. Central and South America:
- Spanish Colonies: Much of Central and South America was under Spanish colonial rule. Significant regions included New Granada (Colombia), Peru, and the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata (Argentina).
- Portuguese Brazil: Brazil was a Portuguese colony and the largest territory in South America. It would gain independence from Portugal in 1822.
- Independence Movements: The early 19th century was marked by independence movements across Latin America, led by figures such as Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín, which resulted in the creation of new nations.
3. Caribbean:
- The Caribbean islands were controlled by various European powers, including Spain, France, Great Britain, and the Netherlands. These islands were significant for their sugar plantations and as hubs of the Atlantic slave trade.
Socio-Economic Conditions
1. Trade and Commerce:
- The Americas were integral to global trade, exporting commodities such as sugar, tobacco, cotton, and coffee. The port cities of Havana, Veracruz, and Buenos Aires were crucial trade...
