Rare Geometric Art, Hand Carved Oak Ludwig van Beethoven Mask Medallion / Plaque
About the Item
Antique and uniquely hand carved work of art, in deep relief.
Anyone who is capable of creating such a unique, geometric and expressive face of Ludwig van Beethoven out of an oakwooden plaque and of this size, in our view, is a true artist. The straight and geometric lines, his powerful facial expression, the sheer depth of this sculpture and the beautifully carved hair of this particular Beethoven 'mask' really make this piece a marvel to own and look at. Worldfamous composer Van Beethoven often had a very strict way of looking (not the kindest person perhaps), but we feel that the artist whom created this unique plaque even gave this Beethoven a somewhat 'mad' look and feel. We believe this was done, because of the phrase we have all come to know as 'It is a fine line between genius and insanity'. With the woodtype of this oval plaque being oakwood it made creating this stylish work of art even more difficult and thanks to its age this piece has also 'grown' a wonderful patina. No matter where you decide to place or wall-mount this unique, classical music related antique, it will never fail to impress. It will also make a great gift for a loved one who is 'mad about' art in general and Ludwig Van Beethoven in particular.

Located in Lisse, NL
Fabulous antique Black Forest wall barometer and thermometer.
This good size and finest quality carved barometer could be the perfect Black Forest antique to grace your home or lodge. The details in all of the hunting related sculptures reveal the workmanship of the artisan who created this one of a kind 'wall plaque barometer'. The oval wall plaque itself is made of solid oak and all of the finely carved hunting gear and dog are all hand carved out of solid nutwood. Have you also noticed the hanging bird prey underneath the perfectly carved hunter's hat and next to the rifle and hunting bag? For an artist to be able to hand-carve all these hunting elements in such details and with such perfection is something that never ceases to amaze us. What makes this particular antique even more special is the fact that, after one hundred years, it still is in mint condition.
