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.

A beautifully detailed garden table with an intricate pierced top and elegant tripod base. The surface has developed a rich, naturally aged green patina over time, giving it that soft, weathered look that only comes from years outdoors.
Likely cast aluminium, it has a solid feel while still being relatively easy to move, making it both practical and decorative. The patterning across the top is particularly striking, especially when light filters through it.
The patina is the standout feature here, with layers of wear and oxidation creating a depth of colour and texture that can’t be replicated. It gives the piece a quiet, timeworn presence that works beautifully in the right setting.
Perfect in a garden, tucked into greenery, or brought indoors as an unusual side table.
