A striking antique devotional oil painting in the Spanish Colonial (New Spain) tradition, depicting a crowned young virgin martyr. The piece is unrestored and offered exactly as acquired – a rare opportunity for a collector or gallery to conserve and preserve an authentic period devotional canvas. The canvas is inscribed across the upper field, flanking the figure’s head, in the traditional colonial manner. The lettering appears to read: Sta. The Saint & Its Significance. Santa Susana (Saint Susanna) is venerated as an early virgin martyr of the Church. In Spanish Colonial devotional painting she is shown, as here, crowned and accompanied by the martyr’s palm – the crown and palm together being the traditional emblems of a martyr’s victory of faith. The figure’s upward gaze and raised hand express devotion and supplication. Single-figure saint portraits of this kind were made throughout New Spain for private chapels, convents, and household altars. Oil on hand-loomed linen. Half-length depiction of the saint in three-quarter view, wearing a pearl diadem with a central floral medallion, gold-trimmed mantle, and a drop earring, set against a dark atmospheric ground with a martyr’s palm behind the head. Warm earth-toned palette with gilded highlights. The hand-woven canvas, deep age craquelure, and inscription convention are all consistent with the Spanish Colonial provincial tradition. Antique and completely unrestored. The painting shows craquelure throughout, areas of paint loss and lifting (notably upper corners), darkening and surface grime in the lower register, and general wear consistent with considerable age. It has not been cleaned, lined, or overpainted by me – it is offered in its honest, untouched state and is an excellent candidate for professional conservation. Please review all photos closely; they form part of the condition description. Acquired directly by me from Galería Trocadero on Avenida México in Guadalajara, Jalisco – a multigenerational family gallery that has been curating fine art and antiques at the same location for over a century. A Note on the Photos. I photograph each piece against several different backgrounds, and sometimes shown with a frame, to help you visualize it in a real room or setting. The backgrounds and any frame shown are for visualization only and are not included – you will receive the unframed canvas as described. Collector & Gallery Value. Pieces from my collection are sometimes acquired by private collectors and galleries. Each piece is professionally packaged by Diseños de Cartón on Avenida México in Colonia Americana, and I personally hand-deliver every package to my local DHL office. Any questions, please reach out to me directly – no AI here, all human service.

Pair of Antique Neo-Gothic Figural Candlesticks. This is a beautiful and heavy pair of antique silver-plated candlesticks, featuring highly detailed religious figures as the stems. One depicts the Virgin Mary in a pose of mourning, and the other depicts St. John the Apostle holding a book (the Gospels). Design: Ornate Gothic Revival style with flared acanthus leaf bases and decorative urn-shaped candle cups. Dimensions: Approximately 26 cm (H) x 10.5 cm (W). / 10.23″ x 4.13″. Weight: Total weight for the pair is 888 grams, giving them a very solid, high-quality feel. There is a lovely aged patina, and the silver plating has worn through in high-relief areas, revealing the warm bronze/brass tones underneath. These pieces are in authentic antique condition. There is significant “bleeding” of the silver plate (where the base metal shows through), which adds to their character and proves their age. There are no major dents or repairs visible. Please see all high-resolution photos for a detailed look at the surface texture. Perfect for a gothic-inspired interior, a private chapel, or a collector of fine religious metalware.

This watch fob belonged to my maternal grandfather. The religious medal represents the Virgin Mary with floral patterns, lilies and roses, it is made of galvanized gild. The representation is definitely Art Deco so I think this is dated from the 1920s my grandfather died in the early 30s. The medal clasp is stamped Murat; there are many stamps style and this is is definitely from the 20s. This watch fob has a swivel dog clasp and a black ribbon AND very unusual, a miniature mechanical pencil. All is original as well as the box with a satin padding.
