This is a magnificent antique religious painting. It is an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary as she is greeted by Elizabeth. As Our Lady approached Elizabeth proclaimed, “Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb” (Luke 1:42) which we know well from the “Hail Mary” prayer.

Reverse glass painting is an ancient folk art tradition of Bavaria. This piece is likely from the early turn of the century.

This is a magnificent antique religious painting. It is an image of a very young Christ holding a globe surrounded by flowers. The globe and cross are an ancient symbol of authority and when Jesus is shown holding it it is referred to as the Salvator Mundi or The Savior of the World.

This is a unique example of mid-century religious art.  It is a stylized image of the Blessed Virgin Mary carrying a young Christ. Our Lord is shown nestled into her shoulder while she holds Him protectively in both arms.  Both figures are crowned and both show expressions of sorrow in anticipation of the pain and loss to come. It is very profound and moving.

This is a stunning piece of religious art.  It is a beautiful image of St. Mary’s Basilica in Krakow, Poland with its two spires reaching towards a dark and stormy sky.  The scene is evocative as the entrance is light and inviting protecting those who enter from the coming storm. Wonderful.

This piece is beautifully framed and matted.  The artist’s signature is in the lower left corner, but it is illegible.

This is a stunning antique sculpture. It is a highly detailed scene of the Nativity. The focal point is, of course, Our Lord in the manger. The Blessed Virgin Mary is kneeling over Him in prayer while they are surrounded by a host of people, angles and animals.  Cherubs are rollicking in the clouds above and the shepherds are in the distant background. The scene is vibrant with excitement and the detail is amazing.

This piece was made in France and is signed “Favier”. We believe it is bronze and dates to the 1800’s. It is housed in a beautiful wood frame and is quite heavy.

Please Note:  The bronze has no backing and is loose from the frame. This can be easily repaired.

This is a fantastic vintage religious print. It is an image of the Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The third person of the Trinity appears as a white dove above several apostles with golden halos kneeling to receive the flames of the Holy Ghost. Magnificent.

The print has a striking frame that is designed to look like aged crumbling columns.  The frame and print appear to be quite old but with newer backing and staples to keep it in place.
