19th Century Carved Wood Religious Statue of a Saint with Glass Eyes

Located in Victoria, BC

A finely carved wooden statue of a male saint, likely French, dating to the 19th century. This devotional figure is depicted in clerical robes with delicate facial features, inset glass eyes, and original polychrome and gilded finish. The sculpture is mounted on a circular painted and giltwood base with a faux marble effect, suggesting ecclesiastical or institutional use. The figure’s contemplative expression and naturalistic posture are rendered with care, highlighting the craftsmanship typical of the period. A surviving label beneath the base from Le Garde Meuble Public, Bedel & Cie., 18 Rue St Augustin, Paris offers provenance and suggests the piece was stored or handled professionally, possibly by a religious institution or estate. Details: Material: Hand-carved wood with polychrome paint and gilding Eyes: Glass inset Base: Painted and gilded wooden plinth with green faux-marble effect Origin: France Date: 19th century Dimensions: Approx. 22.5 inches high (including base) Label: “Le Garde Meuble Public, Bedel & Cie., 18 Rue St Augustin, Paris” (private furniture storage and moving company operating in Paris in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
