Large and high quality carved antique sculpture of Joseph holding the child Jesus. If you are looking for a great value for money, work of religious art then this quality carved church relic could be gracing your home or monastery or house of prayer soon. This may not have been carved out of the most expensive or hard woodtype, but that is not what this antique is about. This striking and meaningful sculpture is all about the natural manner in which both the little boy Jesus and Saint Joseph have been hand-carved out of wood and how an accomplished sculptor clearly has spent a whole lot of time, focus and dedication to get the details of this large and meaningful sculpture very right. In this case, the hands and feet, the curly hair, the serene facial expressions, the perfectly natural body postures AND the perfect draping of the cloths are the most eye-catching details. Ones that most mortals would never be able to create like this and it will have taken this skilled artisan weeks rather than days to create. We believe that this unique antique is made of basswood or pine and it has been hand patinated (original). This was probably done to make the entire sculpure look more warm and calm (no wood grains taking away anything from the beautiful details we described). This meaningful and quality crafted work of religious art is ready for you to enjoy and, to us, it breathes a holy serenity and beauty that will never fail to impress. No matter where you decide to have it on display, this ecclesiastical antique will never fail to impress and if you already have a place in mind for 'them' then maybe you should be their next custodian. Mind you, our price for this hand carved antique church statue...

This rare and decorative barometer with thermometer is in excellent condition! Have you ever seen a barometer with a carved dragon? This rare piece was probably custom-made for a person who had a passion for dragons. It could also be that the master carver used his imagination, because this winged dragon seems to be looking at the thermometer. It may be hoping for the temperature to rise, because this fire spitting creature does not like the cold. We have never seen a barometer like this and to find it in this condition, again felt like a blessing. This antique comes with a maker's or dealer's name from Amsterdam. The thermometer can be read in Celsius and in Fahrenheit and the beautiful and clean barometer also is in good working condition. This rare and good size 'private weather station' too is a privilege to own and look at. Mind you, our fair price for this one of a kind antique weather station...

Large and rare, solid wooden vintage golfer sculpture with glass eyes. This golfer in his early to mid 20th century golf outfit is ready to take on the Augusta National and he is an absolute joy to own and look at. The natural and cery relaxed body posture is very well carved out of solid wood (probably elm) and it reveals the work of a skilled artist. Every golfer knows that the key to playing a good round is the inner peace that needs to come over you. And after that perfect round you will realize that it was that inner calmness that was at the root of playing your A-game. Looking at the very relaxed posture of this dressed to impress Scottish male golfer, we feel he is ready to break down the course. The stylish Scottish tartan socks are one give away of this players nationality, but we feel the blue and white of the golfclub too refer to the colors of the Scottish flag...

Although the 18th century, the period of the Enlightenment in France, spawned thinkers who criticised the privileges of the clergy and the truthfulness of certain dogmas, the Roman Catholic faith was very much present in everyday life. Since king Louis XIV had issued the Edict of Fontainebleau in 1685, Protestantism was banned. This Madonna with child illustrates the daily practice of faith. Like many 18th-century Madonna statues...
