About the Item

19th century Frisian oak watch stand in the form of a grandfather's clock. The very fine chip carved geometric designs are a signature of Frisian style. A wonderful object on its own, just waiting for the perfect pocket watch to complete it. I have owned and sold many beautiful Frisian chip carved boxes over the years, but never a watch holder. This is a beautiful example of Frisian carving. The Frisians are an ethnic group indigenous to the coastal regions of the Netherlands, north-western Germany and southern Denmark. They inhabit an area known as Frisia and are concentrated in the Dutch provinces of Friesland and Groningen and, in Germany, East Frisia and North Frisia. 10.5 inches high

Antique Fine Handcarved Oak Gothic Revival Wall Shrine / Chapel for Statuette

Located in Lisse, NL

Rare and good condition, Gothic-art shrine for standing or wall-hanging. This handsome and decorative, Gothic wall shrine is completely hand-crafted out of solid oak and it will look awesome, no matter where you decide to mount or place her. It must have taken its creator quite a few days to first draw this intricate design on paper and then hand carve the entire piece out of solid oak. The Gothic Style elements are deeply handcarved in both doors and they make this shrine highly decorative and an absolute joy to own and look at. This cabinet chapel (or chapel cabinet) comes with its brass lock in perfect working order and also with its original gothic style key. The handgrip is in fact a Gothic trefoil symbol (for the trinity). What also makes this piece extra attractive is the Gothic church window-like frame behind the doors. It is among the finest we have seen to date and on top of that this antique also has a beautiful and rich patina. By the way, the bronze Mary statuette is not included in our price. Finally, thanks to the hook in the back, mounting this antique chapel...
