It’s both slightly melancholy and undeniably cheerful all at the same time. The loneliness of the path and landscape are balanced with a joyful anticipation that whatever has happened previously, there is brightness and happiness about to pop over the horizon. The trees can be symbols of mankind and almost appear to be human figures gazing towards the light. What you take from this oil painting will be dependent on your own experiences and what is taking place in your life now. With paintings like this, we are allowed to construct a narrative ourselves with which the artwork becomes ever more special in meaning.

The hand-painted oil on canvas autumn trees scene is individually created and thus no two pieces are alike. A painting like this will look splendid in a living room, bedroom, or dining room where it will contribute to the general décor scheme of the interior whilst also offering an aesthetic focus and perhaps a helpful contrast. Slightly philosophical art pieces like this one also fit well into more cerebral environments such as home libraries, home offices, as well as meditation/yoga spaces. If you like art with a lot of contemplative value then this delightfully rich autumn tree scene with winding path will suit your tastes.

It was actually the nine scenes showing dogs around a poker table that became the most famous amongst the American public. The poker scene in the tapestry above actually had an underlying theme which was one of cheating. Each of the other paintings which make up ‘Dogs Playing Poker’ also had similar messages.

The Nativity is one of the most well-known narratives in the world and has been depicted in paintings and images for many centuries. Nativity scenes depict the birth of Jesus as described in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Sculptures of this famous scene are not just a modern phenomenon. From the 16th Century onwards, nativity scenes made from stone and wood were found in churches and cathedrals across Christendom. Although the earliest Nativity sculpture can be dated all the way back to the 4th century on an Ancient Roman Christian sarcophagus now found beneath the pulpit of Sant’Ambrogio basilica in Milan, Italy.

The Thomas Kinkade illuminated Nativity tabletop tree measures 16 inches in height and is a feast for the eyes as well as the soul. With a flick of a switch, the tree-shaped sculpture is lit up and the much loved classic carol “Silent Night” begins to play. The sculpture features a number of smaller scenes within the larger nativity story including the arrival of the Magi (3 Kings) and portrayals of shepherds attending to their sheep who witness the angel announcing the birth of Jesus. At the top of the sculpture is an angel and a star, representing the two events that led the Magi and shepherds to the manger.

This beautiful Christian sculpture will make an ideal decorative feature to a room during the Christmas period. With over 40 handcrafted characters nestled cosily into the amazing tree-shaped scene, this illuminated tabletop sculpture will provide many hours of religious reflection, education and Christmas joy to both adults and children alike.

The Bastet was a feline goddess from ancient Egypt and was worshipped up until the end of the Second Dynasty (2686 BC). Egyptologists have discovered that Bastet was originally portrayed as either a fierce lioness or a woman with the head of a lion. During this period she was considered the protector goddess of Lower Egypt and defender of the pharaoh. Gradually, over time, her standing slipped due to competition from other feline goddesses and she morphed into a cat-goddess. Sometimes she was represented as a woman with the head of a cat but most of the time, simply as a cat.

The Ancient Egyptians loved cats and revered them as special creatures. This was in no small part due to their rat and snake catching abilities which frequently saved food supplies and often kept away disease. Some royal families even dressed their cats with jewellery and allowed them to eat from the same plate as they did. A few modern-day cat owners will undoubtedly be sympathetic to such actions. Hundreds of thousands of mummified cats have been found in tombs across Egypt.

This good looking Bastet cat sculpture measures 8 inches in height and features an array of intricate detailing that does justice to the beautiful form of the feline body. The cat wears jewellery which is hand-painted in a truly wonderful understated manner that takes nothing away from the bodily form. Green felt is attached to the base of the statue so as to protect table and shelf surfaces from any marks. Placed in a prominent position in a living room, bedroom or dining room, the ancient Egyptian cat sculpture will bring a touch of classical elegance, beauty and sophistication to an interior setting.

The winking sun sculpture is handmade in North Carolina and is made from a combination of steel and dyed concrete. The steel sun rays which act as a kind of frame have been given a rust finish for an added decorative effect. It’s not too heavy although it will need fixing to an indoor wall with more than just a regular nail you use for hanging picture frames. Alternatively it can be placed on an outdoor fence, wall or trellis. Indoors or outdoors, the materials will catch the light in different ways and add a shimmer to the scene.

If you want to hang this winking sun wall sculpture indoors then you might consider placing it when a welcoming glint of fun and warmth are required. A hallway or kitchen are prime examples, as well as perhaps a bathroom, garage or workspace. It will also suit an area where a lot of natural sunlight seeps through and catches on the steel rays, thereby adding a shine. A sun room would also be a fantastic location for this charming sculpture.

The Samurai were a military nobility class of pre-industrial Japan. Their belief that the way of the warrior was the most honourable course forged their path and destiny, and indeed that of Japan as a whole. Nowadays, the classical Samurai is iconic and famous across the world. Numerous movies (my personal favourite being “Shichinin no Samurai” made in 1954) and art works have portrayed a romanticised image of the noble warriors and their ethical code (Bushido) together with their weaponry (most notably the sword) and body armour.

The beginnings of the Samurai can be found in early poems from the 10th Century. The end of the Samurai class came to a final conclusion upon the drafting of new laws soon after World War 2. Even though the Samurai way of life is now extinct, the intense interest in the history, culture and artefacts related to this old warrior class has not diminished. In the Western World especially, decorative objects, sculptures and art works portraying the Samurai way of life are very popular. This stoic looking Japanese Samurai who is holding two swords, perhaps readying himself for combat, is perfect for someone with a fascination for this era in Japanese history. It will look great on a table, shelf or cabinet from where it will produce an eye-catching effect when friends and guests enter the room.

There are a number of contested origins of the Lilith character. However, it is generally agreed that the first known account of the character is from within the Babylonian Talmud (finished sometime between 500 and 700 AD). Further stories then developed from this point and can be found in the literature of the Canaanites and more well known, rabbinical myths connected to the biblical Adam and Eve story. Lilith was thought to be a type of demon that would wander the earth searching for newborn children to murder or kidnap. She would also seduce men in order to gain demon offspring. A vast array of superstitions thus arose from stories passed down from generation to generation based on the Lilith myth.

The tapestry wall hanging portraying Lilith with a snake is based on a rather terrible figure but the fascination with ancient mythology and folklore led poets, writers and artists to portray Lilith in multiple paintings, poems, plays and stories, especially in Europe. This beautiful tapestry which has a highly decorative and ornate border is going to make a lovely artistic addition to a living room, home library or dining room. It will make an ideal decorative feature for a person with an interest in ancient mythology and folklore from Mesopotamia, Judea, Ancient Greece and the more contemporary paintings of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, who took a great interest in the character.
