ANTIQUE JANSENIST CRUCIFIX

120,00 €

Jansenist crucifix, 18th century.

A wooden crucifix featuring naively carved figures of Jesus and a skull, both crafted from bone. The vertical positioning of Christ’s arms, more aligned upwards than horizontally, is a characteristic hallmark of Jansenist crosses. This exquisite crucifix is a remarkable collector’s piece, ideal for any religious or historical collection.

Jansenism was a religious movement within the Catholic Church that emerged in 17th-century France. Rooted in the teachings of Dutch theologian Cornelius Jansen, it emphasized a strict and ascetic view of Christian faith. Central tenets included a focus on human sinfulness and the belief in divine grace as the sole path to salvation. Jansenism was also known for its opposition to worldly luxury and for promoting strict morality and humility.

While Jansenism did not take deep root in Slovenia as it did in other parts of Europe, its influence was felt among certain theological circles. Some priests and theologians advocated stricter moral and religious practices and criticized elements of the Catholic Church at the time. However, the movement remained limited in its impact on Slovenian society and culture.

Dimensions: 32 x 12 x 2 cm

Weight: 0.3 kg

The crucifix is well-preserved and serves as an extraordinary artifact reflecting a significant historical and theological era.

VINTAGE PURSE

Vintage purse from the 1950s, made in America.

Such purses became a symbol of that era, representing the introduction of new materials and designs. The featured purse is an excellent example of why these purses were so popular. The intricately crafted cover of the purse and the pearl on the clasp give a sense of luxury while combining the robustness of Lucite with elegant design.

ANTIQUE BABY BOTTLE

39,00 €

Antique baby bottle from the English company Allenburys, made in London in 1905.

In 1894, the first banana-shaped feeding bottle appeared on the market. The British pharmaceutical company Allenburys (alias Allen & Hanburys) was quite proud of its feeding bottle, which indeed had some excellent features. Firstly, both ends allowed good airflow, which is crucial for feeding a baby: one end of the bottle had a nipple, and the other had a valve. Secondly, it was easy to grip. Thirdly, and most importantly, it was hygienic, as claimed on the bottle itself. It could be easily cleaned and sterilized. The Allenburys brand is known for emphasizing the increasing awareness of hygiene and cleanliness in the early 20th century. On the box itself, we can read their vision: "This feeder ensures absolute cleanliness and eliminates all causes which induce fermentation of food. The infant is freed from disease, winds, digestive disturbances, diarrhea, etc. It is especially recommended for use with 'Allenburys' infant foods. You can offer clean and uncontaminated food in a bottle that can be easily cleaned." Allenburys was right: its bottle was much more hygienic than those before it, which were so difficult to clean that they became a breeding ground for deadly bacteria – these charming bottles later became known as "murder bottles." Now, this bottle can be an interesting decorative item, and the box itself is also very interesting. It features captivating images and refined yet not entirely refined messages, showing us what innovations artificial feeding brought in those times. A very interesting item that tells us a lot about the past. Dimensions: 19.5 x 8 x 6.5 cm Weight: 220 g The bottle is in excellent condition, albeit without the nipple and valve that originally came with it. The box is well-preserved.

SCOLD’S BRIDLE

820,00 €

The scold's bridle.

The scold's bridle or brank, originating from Scotland in the 16th century, was a horrific device designed to cause shame, discomfort, and pain to its wearer. Its usage spread from Scotland to England, Germany, and other European countries. Its purpose was to shame, silence, and physically discomfort individuals who were deemed unruly or outspoken, particularly women who challenged authority or societal norms. Often, these bridles were crafted to resemble masks with distorted facial features, such as large ears, noses, or horns. Some even had bells attached to them, further humiliating the wearer and drawing attention to their presence. The bridle, worn for a minimum of several hours, prevented its wearer from eating, drinking, and most importantly, speaking. It consisted of a metal part inserted into the mouth, similar to a bit in a horse's harness, which held the tongue in place. In more severe cases, these metal mouthpieces had spikes, causing additional pain. The bridle was predominantly used as a punishment for women who were considered too vocal or contentious in public, especially widows or older women who were not under male control. It was also known as a "witch's bridle," indicating its use during witch trials to prevent accused witches from casting spells on their captors or communities. Additionally, disobedient wives could be subjected to this punishment at their husbands' request. While men could also face this punishment if perceived as a threat to the common good, it was primarily reserved for women deemed gossips, adulterers, prostitutes, or witches, as well as those who defied societal norms. The bridle served as a stark reminder of the oppression women faced and the consequences of expressing dissent in conservative societies. Remarkably, this punishment was not abolished in England until 1967, reflecting the enduring legacy of patriarchal control and the gradual progress towards women's rights. The scold's bridle serves as a poignant relic of the past, prompting reflection on the darker aspects of human history. Dimensions: 26 x 25.5 x 21 cm Weight: 3.2 kg The scold's bridle is in excellent condition, complete with a lock and accompanying key.
