About the Item

"Madonna And Child – Southern Netherlands, Ca. 1470–1525" Carved oak, unpolychromed Height: 24 cm Brabantine workshop (likely Leuven or Brussels) A finely carved devotional statue of the Virgin Mary seated in majesty, holding the Christ Child on her left knee. Both figures wear crowns carved integrally from the same block of oak, with no applied ornamentation. The Virgin holds a cluster of grapes in her right hand — a symbolic reference to the Eucharist and the Passion of Christ. The sculpture exhibits graceful proportions, strong verticality, and deeply incised Gothic drapery folds. The Virgin’s face is elongated and serene, with stylized almond-shaped eyes, while the Child raises his right hand in blessing. The work is entirely carved from a single piece of oak, including the throne, figures, and crowns. It is sculpted fully in the round, with particular attention paid to the back — where the Virgin’s long hair is finely detailed, indicating the artist’s intent for this to be a fully viewable devotional object. A single hole is present at the underside, likely for original mounting. No traces of polychromy remain, and the statue was likely never painted, consistent with a tradition of unadorned devotional sculpture made for private prayer. This piece reflects the craftsmanship of late 15th to early 16th-century Brabantine workshops, operating within the Southern Netherlandish Gothic tradition. Its restrained elegance, theological symbolism, and intimate scale (24 cm) all point to its use as a private devotional object, probably commissioned by a member of the urban bourgeoisie or a monastic community. In excellent condition, with minor age-related wear, warm patina, and no restoration.

Located in Leuven , BE

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...

Rare Gothic Oak Panel Carved With Vine And Grape Cluster Motif, Circa 1320–1400

Located in Bilzen, BE

"Rare Gothic Oak Panel Carved With Vine And Grape Cluster Motif, Circa 1320–1400" Rare Gothic Carved Oak Panel with Vine & Grape Motif, c. 1320–1400 This exceptional carved oak panel is a fine example of pure Gothic design, originating from Northern Europe—most likely Flanders, northern France, or England—and dating to the early–mid 14th century. The panel is richly carved in openwork with an interlacing vine scroll bearing clustered grapes, a motif strongly associated with medieval Christian symbolism, representing the Eucharist and the “True Vine” of Christ. The design is entirely Gothic in conception, free of any later Renaissance influence, with flowing, organic tracery rather than strict symmetry. A rectangular mortise is present to one side, indicating that the piece originally formed part of a cabinet or small door—possibly from a church sacristy...
