ANTIQUE ELEPHANT SCULPTURE
Antique elephant, a large wooden sculpture from the first half of the 20th century.
This elephant sculpture will be an exceptional addition to any home due to its size and beautiful details. Also, because of the symbolism associated with elephants, there should be at least one representation of an elephant in every home. Elephants have always been regarded as bearers of wisdom, happiness, and positive energy. In Hinduism, elephants symbolize integrity and strength. According to Vastu Shastra (traditional Indian architectural system), placing an elephant sculpture near the entrance door can help protect your home from negative energies and invite luck inside. You can place it in the marital bedroom, as the elephant symbol is believed to strengthen relationships, enhance fertility, and prevent infidelity. To aid a child in their studies, place the elephant sculpture on their study desk, as it is said to enhance knowledge and improve concentration. For business success, position the elephant sculpture near the main entrance, as its presence will energize your business. Although elephants with raised trunks are believed to bring luck, the symbolism of an elephant with a lowered trunk is also considered auspicious. A lowered trunk is said to represent longevity and the ability to overcome challenges. The black color of the elephant represents prosperity and success. Therefore, this beautiful elephant sculpture, handcrafted from exotic hardwood, can be the perfect gift for yourself and your home. Dimensions: 47 x 35.5 x 22 cm Weight: 11 kg The elephant is excellently preserved.
ANTIQUE CHAIR
Antique chair, made in England between 1750 and 1850.
This chair is a typical example from the late 18th to early 19th century. It features a drawer under the seat, providing storage for various items. Due to its solidity, it's incredibly eye-catching, making it an excellent piece for highlighting and enriching a space. The chair itself boasts other wonderful details that only such an old piece can have. These include wooden pegs, which often replaced expensive iron nails in those times since they were hand-forged. Another detail is the beautifully patinated wood, which, upon touch, tells the story of its rich history. Most captivating is its shape, as the chair is not precisely formed and exhibits many asymmetrical details, lending it a playful naivety and confirming that it was entirely handmade, without the aid of mechanized tools. The story behind the chair with a drawer is also fascinating, as there are several versions. One story suggests that such chairs were made on farms in England for those assisting in lambing. The person would sit on this chair, waiting for the lambing, with a drawer under the seat containing a Bible and whisky to sustain them. These chairs were typically made by carpenters not accustomed to furniture-making, which explains the asymmetrical shape. Another tale suggests that such chairs were found in wealthier households, known as "salt thrones" as they stored salt, a prestigious spice at the time, in the drawer. Sitting on such a chair during a meal signified a special honor, as being seated above the salt was a mark of distinction. Thus, this chair is a true throne of history, capable of telling many stories of the past and inspiring us with its grandeur. Dimensions: 97 x 57 x 50 cm Weight: 18 kg The chair is excellently preserved.

It will stand out in any home or establishment, captivating everyone with its size and neon lights in three colors. Due to its association with the first manned Moon landing, it's not just a collector's item but also a reminder of a historic event that will remain in the collective memory of humanity and an unforgettable moment in global culture. Apollo 11 was the first manned space mission to land on the Moon. In 1969, when the landing occurred, millions of people were glued to their television screens, as the Moon landing had been a subject of fascination for years. People were anxious, not knowing what might befall the first astronauts. Would they encounter extraterrestrials? Would harmful radioactive rays kill them? There were more questions than answers, but people were still more curious and excited than frightened, thrilled that humanity could land on the moon and even travel through space. The successful landing and subsequent return to Earth thrilled humanity and inspired the imagination for years to come. It was and will forever be a story of what is possible with science, technology, and the will to achieve the impossible. Therefore, it's not surprising that during that time, people almost worshipped the Apollo 11 mission and produced items with a space theme. The first neon lights appeared as early as 1890, but they were used exclusively for industrial purposes, such as by miners in France who had neon lamps. Neon lights as we know them today appeared around 1910 when they were invented by French innovator Georges Claude. The first neon sign was created in 1915 for a Parisian hair salon. In 1923, the motor company Packard Motors purchased two neon signs for advertising in Los Angeles, bringing neon signs to America for the first time, where their popularity soared. Claude held a patent on neon lights, giving him a monopoly on them in the 1920s. Only after the patent expired and the secret of making these bright lights was revealed did others have the opportunity to start manufacturing them. That's when their popularity skyrocketed. In the 1930s, neon lights could be found in the Moulin Rouge in Paris, on the Las Vegas Strip, and in New York's Times Square. Over the next few decades, neon provided vibrant light, transforming ordinary buildings into continuous advertising displays for all types of businesses. Neon lights were even used for political purposes. In communist countries, buildings were decorated with them to give city residents the glamorous feel of Western metropolises. However, making neon lights was quite time-consuming and complex, as they had to be hand-blown and shaped, and then filled with gas. They also began to lose their futuristic charm in the 1960s, leading to a decline in their popularity, as they were replaced by more modern and cheaper lighting products. Today, they are a popular home decoration, rarely used for advertising purposes like in their early days. Dimensions: 156 x 34.5 x 9 cm Weight: 16 kg The neon sign is in excellent condition. The neon tubes are original and working.

CHASTITY BELT
The chastity belt.
Who hasn't heard of the chastity belt? A device that supposedly helped husbands and fathers ensure that their wives and daughters remained untouched and "pure" as far back as the Middle Ages. This was said to be a metal belt tightened around a woman's waist, locked by the man with a large padlock. This medieval man could then be free of worries that his chosen one would engage in sexual relations with someone else, despite their prolonged absence due to wars. How barbaric and unhygienic, isn't it? At least that's the story that has been told for centuries. Simple, shocking, and somewhat amusing, as it portrays past people as extremely backward, contrasting with our enlightened and better selves. However, this is not the true story of the chastity belt. The truth is, there is no physical evidence that chastity belts existed in those times, at least not in a physical form. They are mentioned a few times in literature and depicted in artworks, albeit more in an allegorical and satirical sense. The earliest evidence of a chastity belt can be found in a book by military engineer von Eichstadt from 1405, which described catapults, armor, and torture devices, including a sketch of a chastity belt. Historians are convinced that this was just one of the humorous inventions he included in the book, similar to a device for becoming invisible or a fart-propelled contraption, which further solidifies the fact that chastity belts were not used in the Middle Ages. The surviving examples of chastity belts found today are believed to have been made in the 19th century. With the advent of industrialization in Europe, materials such as iron and steel became more accessible, and soon blacksmiths realized there was a particular market they could tap into. Puritanical masses of that time were willing to pay a lot of money to view medieval torture devices in museums and exhibitions, satisfying their craving for their own judgment of medieval barbarism. Thus, blacksmiths of that time made several torture devices, including chastity belts, and sold them to museums and collections. Interestingly, the chastity belt probably was never in widespread use in the past, but its use has spread precisely in modern times, in BDSM and fetish communities. Thus, the chastity belt is an urban legend of the Middle Ages that has survived to this day. Now it can be an interesting addition to any historical collection or a fascinating ornament to spark debates. Certainly, one of those pieces that tell a story and stimulate our imagination. Dimensions: 55 x 35 x 25 cm Weight: 4 kg The chastity belt is in excellent condition.

Caviar hasn't always been considered a prestigious dish, despite humanity enjoying it for at least 2000 years. During ancient times, it was not treated as a gourmet delicacy. Its transformation began in the Middle Ages when caviar was used as a meat substitute and preserved in salt to prolong its shelf life. This process created a delicacy that became popular among the aristocracy, particularly in Russia. During the October Revolution in 1917, many Russians fled to France, bringing their beloved delicacy to Europe. The French, enamored by this imported delicacy, recognized it as a prestigious and glamorous dish to be paired with champagne. Thus, caviar became an extremely popular luxury food, but its popularity also led to the near extinction of the best fish for caviar - beluga. Fortunately, its extinction was prevented in the mid-1950s when farmed caviar was successfully introduced to the market. Today, we can still enjoy this exquisite and prestigious delicacy.
