What you’ll find in this sale

Bronze & metal sculpture highlights

This selection features multiple sculptural themes that collectors consistently search for:

• Animal sculpture: a dynamic pair of deer on a stone/marble base, plus an elegant animal figure (sleek hound/horse form) ideal for modern or classic interiors.
• Figurative bronzes: graceful female forms, expressive movement/dance-style figures, and narrative compositions that bring “gallery energy” into the home.
• Decorative stands and mounted figures: statement pieces designed to sit proudly on a console, sideboard, or library shelf.

Clocks with presence

Clocks aren’t just timekeepers—they’re design anchors:

• A classic ornate mantel clock with architectural detail (a true focal point for a living room).
• A refined glass-case desk/display clock—minimal, elegant, and highly collectible for design-focused buyers.

Art glass and interior accents

For collectors of colour, cut, and light:

• A bold modern art glass vase with graphic geometry.
• A richly faceted green glass vessel that catches light beautifully.
• Sculptural crystal-style decorative pieces suited to contemporary interiors and display cabinets.

Religious & devotional objects

One standout is a gothic-style wall shrine featuring a Madonna figure, a timeless devotional accent that appeals to collectors of religious art and traditional interiors.

Porcelain figures & decorative candelabra

Decorative porcelain and figural candleholders bring classic “salon” charm—ideal for collectors who love layered, romantic interiors.

Why collectors love these categories (quick expert tips)

When you visit the viewing days, keep an eye on:

• Sculpture finish & patina (even ageing and pleasing tone often adds value).
• Base material (stone/marble bases can elevate presence and stability).
• Glass quality (clarity, weight, and crisp edges in cut patterns).
• Clock condition (case integrity, dial condition, and movement functionality).
• Restoration vs. originality (honest wear can be desirable; heavy repairs should be assessed).

Join us on the viewing days (22–23 May)

Photos are a great start, but viewing in person is where collectors win: you can judge scale, surface, detail, and overall presence—especially for bronzes, glass, and clocks.

This May, Jordaens N.V. presents a captivating group of Orthodox religious icons—a category prized for its spiritual symbolism, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless decorative power. From classic depictions of Christ Pantocrator to tender images of the Theotokos (Virgin and Child) and revered saints, these works carry centuries of visual tradition—created to be contemplated, collected, and preserved.

Orthodox icons are more than devotional images. They are a distinct art form with a unique visual “language”: frontal figures, symbolic gestures, gold-toned grounds, and inscriptions that identify holy figures and scenes. Collectors value icons for their history, hand-painted character, and patina, while interior designers and art lovers appreciate their ability to bring warmth, depth, and presence to a space.

Highlights in this collection

In this selection you’ll find a variety of icon types and styles, including:

• Christ icons (often shown frontally with blessing gesture and gospel book)
• Theotokos/Virgin icons, some with the Christ Child—deeply popular among collectors of sacred art
• Saint icons, including bishop/holy men representations commonly seen in Orthodox tradition
• Narrative or multi-scene icons featuring several episodes or panels—highly collectible for their storytelling nature
• Icons with metal riza/oklad (decorative covers) that protect and frame the painted image, adding rich texture and a striking contrast between metalwork and paint
• Traditional wood panel construction with visible age character—exactly what collectors look for when searching for authenticity and atmosphere

Why collectors love Orthodox icons

Orthodox icon collecting sits at the crossroads of art history, spirituality, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. Many collectors focus on:

• Iconography and subject (Christ, Theotokos, Saint Nicholas, feast scenes, guardian saints)
• Technique and materials (tempera-style paint, gilding, lacquer-like surfaces, metal overlays)
• Aged patina and surface character (aesthetic depth that modern replicas can’t replicate)
• Display value (icons work beautifully in both classic and modern interiors)

Whether you collect Russian icons, Byzantine-style icons, Eastern Christian art, or you’re simply drawn to pieces with strong presence and history, this group offers compelling opportunities.

Visit the viewing days: 22–23 May

We strongly recommend attending our viewing days (22 & 23 May) to appreciate details that photos can’t fully capture—surface texture, subtle color layers, reflective metalwork, and the depth of aged materials.

Auction dates: 26–27 May

Bidding takes place on 26 & 27 May. Explore the catalogue, shortlist your favorites, and bid with confidence on a curated selection of religious art and antique icons.
