Rare 17th / Early 18thC Antique European Folk Art Wooden Crucifix Cross Jesus
Overview? An exceptional, highly atmospheric late 17th or early 18th-century Continental European devotional crucifix. This authentic piece of historic folk art showcases incredible age, an untouched crusty patina, and deep religious character. Featuring unique pre-industrial craftsmanship, it stands on its original multi-tiered “Golgotha” wooden base. Design & Iconography? The Corpus: Features a striking, elongated hand-carved wooden figure of Christ with a Jansenist-influenced vertical arm posture, characteristic of 17th-century theological artistry. The torso and loincloth show beautifully raw, provincial carving details. The Details: Adorned with a hand-painted “INRI” titulus scroll at the apex and a unique, jagged sheet metal (tin/iron) radiating halo/glory behind the head and cross joints. The Wood: The reverse reveals beautifully aged, hand-riven/hand-hewn timber showing historic adze or drawknife marks. The unpainted wood on the back has oxidized over centuries to a rich, warm honey-brown hue. Condition Report? Surface: Magnificent, untouched original condition with extensive “alligatoring” (square cracking) to the old painted gesso surface. The deep, dark patina is completely authentic, built up from centuries of exposure to candlelight and environment. Structure: The piece is stable on its layered, block-constructed wooden base. There are ancient, entirely inactive woodworm flight holes on the reverse, adding to its genuine antiquity. Historic Repairs: As is common with devotional items of this age, this piece has been loved and maintained over generations. There are early-to-mid 20th-century flat-head slot screws carefully stabilizing the hands and feet to the cross where the original ancient glue/fasteners naturally failed. The tin halo elements remain attached via irregular, hand-forged blacksmith tacks.

Rare 1930s Kienzle Heinrich Moller Art Deco Bauhaus Table Mantel Clock German
A rare and striking Kienzle table or mantel clock, designed by Heinrich Möller and produced in Germany circa 1935-36. The clock has the elegant geometric styling associated with both the Art Deco and Bauhaus movements, with a large circular brass surround, raised Arabic numerals, distinctive ring-form hour hand, long tapered minute hand, convex glass and stepped black plinth. A particularly impressive decorative clock with real presence. Approximate dimensions: Height: 25 cm Width: 23 cm MOVEMENT AND WORKING CONDITION The clock would originally have been fitted with a Kienzle eight-day mechanical movement. At some point in its life, this was replaced with a later vintage Kienzle 1.5V electromechanical movement powered by a D battery. The replacement mechanism is itself Kienzle-branded and vintage, rather than a modern quartz conversion. It has been tested with a fresh 1.5V D battery but does not continue running. When the clock is gently tilted or moved, the balance mechanism ticks for approximately three seconds before stopping. No further investigation or repair has been attempted. COSMETIC CONDITION The clock displays extremely well but naturally shows age-related patina, tarnishing, marks and wear. The number 3 appears to been glued back on at some point. Although the original movement is no longer present, the clock remains an authentic and increasingly difficult-to-find example of Heinrich Möller’s celebrated work for Kienzle. Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description.

This is an exceptional antique artifact Ula from the Fijian Islands. The estimated age on this piece is late 18th century to early 19th. It is carved from an exceptionally beautiful and dense piece of ironwood and is what I would consider a large example when comparing to other objects of its type. Check my other listings for more oceanic art pieces like this one. There are some age related cracks (checks) none of which cause structural damage to the club. Please examine the photos closely and ask any questions prior to purchasing. The patina is absolutely gorgeous and the well worn tavatava chip carving on the handles show great age with many years in use.
