About the Item

This striking pair of hand-painted wooden corbels from New Mexico, crafted circa 1940, beautifully showcases the bold design and traditional craftsmanship of mid-20th century Southwestern folk art. Standing an impressive 32 inches tall and measuring 7.25 inches wide by 17.25 inches deep, these substantial architectural elements were likely originally used to support beams or overhangs in historic adobe or territorial-style homes. Each corbel features intricate, vibrantly painted motifs in rich earth tones and primary colors, echoing the cultural heritage and artisanal spirit of New Mexico. The hand-carved detailing and layered pigment lend them a unique, timeworn patina that highlights their age and authenticity. Whether displayed as sculptural wall art or incorporated into a custom interior design project, these rare vintage corbels are ideal for enhancing rustic, Southwestern, Spanish Colonial, or eclectic interiors. Their presence evokes the regional charm and artistic soul of the American Southwest, making them a standout addition to any fine folk art or architectural antiques collection.

Pair of 19th Century Portuguese carved oak offering boxes

Located in Diest, BE

This pair of beautifully hand-carved offering or collection boxes originates from Portugal and dates back to the 19th century. Each piece is crafted from solid oak and shaped in the form of a stylized fish, a powerful Christian symbol representing faith and spiritual nourishment. The boxes exhibit remarkable craftsmanship, featuring detailed hand-carved scales, fins, and facial features. The eyes are made from genuine animal bone reflecting traditional Portuguese folk artistry. Originally, such offering boxes (arca de esmolas) would have been used in churches or chapels to collect donations or alms. The fish form may also symbolize abundance and the act of giving, deeply rooted in Christian iconography. These pieces are fine examples of 19th-century Portuguese religious folk art...
