ANTIQUE WRITING DESK

6.400,00 €

Writing desk, crafted in 1885 in the vicinity of Ptuj, is opulent, top-notch, and rare—adjectives that aptly describe this exceptional writing desk made in the Neo-Renaissance style.

However, the most extraordinary aspect of this piece lies in its history. This is a desk with Slovenian origins, created by the hands of a Slovenian master, as indicated by inscriptions on the backside of the drawer. Moreover, it has traversed its entire history on Slovenian soil, as evidenced by a stamp on the inner side of the door, where we can read that, at some point in its past, it was part of a municipal office. Thus, this desk is, in essence, a part of Slovenian furniture heritage, making it a rare gem even in the collection of the most discerning antique collectors. Nevertheless, it is, first and foremost, a splendid desk ready to shine in your office or a corner of your home where you enjoy creating, writing, and working. Undoubtedly, it is a top-notch acquisition and an exceptional opportunity for anyone who truly values Slovenian artisanal heritage and for those whose faces light up with a smile at the sight of such an extraordinary piece of furniture.

DEATH MASK

750,00 €

The creation of death masks is one of the oldest sculptural techniques, serving as a memory of the deceased or as a model for creating portraits. They are made by taking an impression of the face of the deceased in wax or plaster, usually a few hours after death.

The particular death mask you have is original and made of plaster, depicting an unknown man. It is an unusual addition to any room, carrying significant symbolic meaning (Memento mori). Death masks are undoubtedly one of the most intriguing traditions of humanity, a way for people to preserve the memory of the deceased. The most famous death masks come from Egypt, where they were buried with the deceased. Similarly, ancient Roman masks made of wax are known, used as a model for carving into tombstones. This tradition continues for centuries until the end of the Middle Ages when there was a shift in the material used, and masks began to be made of plaster. During this time, masks started to be used in funeral ceremonies and were later kept in libraries, museums, and universities. Death masks were not only made for royal and noble figures but also for prominent individuals such as poets, philosophers, and playwrights. Similar to ancient Rome, these death masks were often used as references for portraits, sculptures, busts, or engravings depicting the deceased. Dimensions: 26 x 22 cm Weight: 780 g The mask is in excellent condition and has an iron hook for wall mounting.
