Click here to enlarge image and see more about item 011808001: Primitive Religious icon of Christ on gilt panel.
Click for more detail...
011808001
Primitive Religious icon of Christ on gilt panel. Beautiful, rare religious icon of Christ on gold painted panel with an antique gilt frame.

Age unknown, probably at least 150 to 200 years old.

It is unclear what language or languages are represented in the lettering inscribed in the icon. One of the letters ( a character with three curved lines radiating upward and three curved lines radiating downward), is a character cited in Wikipedia as part of the early Cyrillic alphabet. This same character has also been cited as part of the Russian alphabet. This may be an Orthodox icon.

Measurements are 20 inches high and 20 inches wide including the frame.

Remarkably intact for its age, but with signs of wear, and the frame somewhat fragile. A rare museum quality piece to be handled with care, but well worth the interest of a curator or collector.

Sacred museum curator's dream. You can purchase and donate in memory of your loved ones to your place of worship. Will be fully insured upon shipping and sent to that sanctuary.

Proceeds will go directly to our mission chapel in the coal mining village where our chapel has been storm damaged.

Click here to enlarge image and see more about item 060608006: Die Heilige Schrift Alten Und Neuen Testaments circa 18th. Century.
Click for more detail...
060608006
Die Heilige Schrift Alten Und Neuen Testaments circa 18th. Century. "Biblia Das Ist: Die Heilige Schrift Altes Und Neues Testaments, Nach Der Deutschen Uebersetzung D. Martin Luther"

Antique Bible printed in Philadelphia. All in German, comprising the Old Testament, Apocrypha, and New Testament.

This volume does not indicate the year of its publication, however similar 992 page publications of Die Heilige Schrift Alten Und Neuen Testaments published in Germantown, PA, have been cited as being from the year 1763. For that reason, I am designating this Bible to be a circa 18th. century publication. The family register references the year 1814, indicating it would be at the least an early 19th. century volume, if not late 18th. century. The city of Philadelphia is indicated in the inside title page as the place of its publication.

This volume stands near 12" tall by 9 1/4" wide by 3 1/4" thick. It is remarkably intact for its age.

The front cover is partly loose from the binding, and as indicated in the accompanying photos, there is foxing and and staining throughout in places. Pages 571 and 575 are torn in the center.

With all the visible wear and signs of age, it is otherwise solidly intact. Back cover appears tight and secure, and pages are entirely readable.

A worthy, well preserved addition to the library of any collector.

Item being sold to raise funds for the medical expenses of our senior pastor who is suffering diabetic blindness in his left eye.



Circa: Unknown. Circa 18th century

042308002
Crucifix gold pendant 14- 18 karats handcrafted w. over 200 diamonds. Rare hand crafted crucifix with the body of Jesus Christ comprises over 200 diamonds (It is difficult to perform an exact manual count on this hand crafted piece-200 is a conservative visual estimate of how many diamonds this pendant has). The diamonds range from 1 point to 3 points each in value. A few (perhaps 2 or 3) are missing.

Size of the cross as shown in the accompanying photos.

For gold weight value, quality craftsmanship, and sheer spiritual symbolism and beauty, this cross is a worthy investment for the future.
