Antique folk art jewellery box with hand carved floral detailing and a shaped serpentine front.

Antique religious icon with an embossed metal oklad and hand painted faces, sourced in Sardinia. The metal cover is richly worked with floral and symbolic detailing, all done by hand and showing real age. The painted faces of the Madonna and Child are visible through the openings, giving the piece depth and that layered, devotional look associated with older icons.
The metal has oxidised and darkened over time, and the wooden panel beneath shows age movement, which is exactly what you want to see on a piece of this period. Icons with this level of hand tooling, intact panels and original painted insert are becoming harder to find, especially outside their countries of origin.

Kwele “Ekuk” heart mask from Gabon, carved in wood with the classic sweeping horn frame that curls around the face. These masks were traditionally hung in the village during Bwete rites to calm tensions, settle unrest and restore harmony after illness, conflict or loss. Their presence was believed to invite protective forest spirits and bring a sense of balance back to the community.
This example has a soft, timeworn surface with traces of white kaolin, a colour associated with peace and clarity. The narrow eyes and gentle expression give it a quiet stillness that adds to the mask’s grounding feel. A striking heart-shaped form with real age and character, perfect as a symbolic piece for a home that values calm and protection.
Beautiful pair of vintage botanical prints produced by Imprimerie Rémond, each featuring detailed studies of old rose varieties. Soft, timeworn toning across the paper adds authenticity and charm. Both are presented in slim black frames with a gilt inner edge, giving them a classic look.
