Medieval Style Carved Statue of 3 Religious Figures

Unkown

About the Item

Medieval style carved sculpture of three religious figures, possibly saints. The sculpture is in the style of Gothic religious art from continental Europe, particularly Germany and Flanders. We believe the sculpture dates between the 16th century and 18th century and ask potential buyers to review the photos to determine age as we are not experts in this particular field of art. A previous late owner was a collector of gothic and renaissance furniture and art so there is a possibility the sculpture may be earlier. The sculpture is in distressed condition with cracks and paint loss. The sculpture is in need of a professional restoration and cleaning, we did not clean the sculpture for fear of damaging the finish as we are not professional restorers. The sculpture is of course beautiful as it is and it may be determined that its current condition may be considered desirable to a collector or designer. Provenance: A prodigious collector, author, and historian who owned several items that are now in museums.

  • Large Neapolitan 19th Century Hardwood Sculpture of a Crèche Camel.
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Large, Neapolitan, late 19th Century hardwood sculpture of a camel. Artist unknown. A beautifully patinated hardwood sculpture. The sculpture is extremely charming and having been handled for over a century has a lovely warm and tactile patina. It is particularly nice too see the work of the craftsperson in the adze and chisel marks along the body of the sculpture. The Italians and most notably the area around Naples has a long and storied tradition in the creation of sculptures for Nativity Scenes. This camel is both an endearing item and a piece of social history. A wonderful addition in its own right to the traditional Christmas scene, by tradition this sculpture was used as a maquette for the production of papier-maché models used in Christmas Creches which have such a long tradition in Italy and throughout the world. Wonderfully carved this piece was used to create hollow models out of papier-maché which were more affordable for this Christmas tradition. Hundreds of strips of papier-maché would be layered onto the figure in all directions. Then using a sharp tool the papier-maché was pushed into all the crevices of the sculpture to give it crisp detail. Once the layers of paper were dry the papier-maché was cut at certain points and lifted off the sculpture. Then finally the resulting body parts were glued back together, painted and patinated ready to be placed in the crèche scene. In the Christian tradition, a nativity scene (also known as a manger scene...
