Finest Quality, Hand Carved Miniature Statue of Mother Mary Holding Child Jesus

Beautiful, early 1800s, wooden sculpture of a Holy Mary with child Jesus on her arm. This stunning church relic is another great example of the quality of 19th century, European craftsmanship and we are grateful for it to have found its way to our gallery. Also, because we are certain we will make a private collector or someone's congregation very happy with it. From the amazing body posture, the wonderfully serene facial expressions and the superb manner in which Her draped clothes are hand carved, one can see that this antique and sizeable Virgin Mary statue is the work of a master sculptor. This rare antique statue is made of solid oakwood and can be enjoyed on the floor, on a table, on a wall bracket or even mounted on your wall (via the sturdy antique metal hook...

Large and high quality carved antique sculpture of Joseph holding the child Jesus. If you are looking for a great value for money, work of religious art then this quality carved church relic could be gracing your home or monastery or house of prayer soon. This may not have been carved out of the most expensive or hard woodtype, but that is not what this antique is about. This striking and meaningful sculpture is all about the natural manner in which both the little boy Jesus and Saint Joseph have been hand-carved out of wood and how an accomplished sculptor clearly has spent a whole lot of time, focus and dedication to get the details of this large and meaningful sculpture very right. In this case, the hands and feet, the curly hair, the serene facial expressions, the perfectly natural body postures AND the perfect draping of the cloths are the most eye-catching details. Ones that most mortals would never be able to create like this and it will have taken this skilled artisan weeks rather than days to create. We believe that this unique antique is made of basswood or pine and it has been hand patinated (original). This was probably done to make the entire sculpure look more warm and calm (no wood grains taking away anything from the beautiful details we described). This meaningful and quality crafted work of religious art is ready for you to enjoy and, to us, it breathes a holy serenity and beauty that will never fail to impress. No matter where you decide to have it on display, this ecclesiastical antique will never fail to impress and if you already have a place in mind for 'them' then maybe you should be their next custodian. Mind you, our price for this hand carved antique church statue...
