19th Century Madonna and Child with Souls in Purgatory Papier-Mache Sculpture
Located in Milan, IT
First half of the 19th century
Madonna and Child with souls in Purgatory
Lacquered and gilded papier-mache with polychrome wooden base
cm 96.5 x 37.5 x 28
"At that time I asked the Lord Jesus: 'For whom do I still have to pray?'. Jesus answered me that the following night he would make me known for whom I had to pray. I saw the Custodian Angel, who ordered me to follow him. At a moment I found myself in a foggy place, invaded by fire and, in it, a huge crowd of suffering souls. These souls pray with great fervour, but without effectiveness for themselves: only we can help them. The flames that burned them, they did not touch me. My Guardian Angel did not abandon me for a moment. And I asked those souls what their greatest torment was. And they unanimously answered me that their greatest torment is the ardent desire of God. I read the Madonna who visited the souls of Purgatory. The souls call Mary 'Star of the Sea'. She brings them refreshment ".
(Diary of Sister Faustina Kowalska p. 11)
A Polish religious, Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) reinterpreted in the pages of her testimony the ancient role of the Virgin as savior and supporter of the souls of Purgatory. The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council established that, assumed into Heaven, the Mother of God should operate a continuous intercession in favor of those children waiting for Paradise who were in the place, quoted for the first time by Pope Gregory the Great...

Papier-Mâché Dress Form on Original Wooden Stand, Mid-20th Century
Located in Oceanside, US
A sculptural papier-mâché dress form mounted on its original freestanding wooden slat stand, dating from the mid-20th century. The form is lightweight and crafted from layered brown paper, hand-shaped and finished with a varnished surface that highlights its textural quality.
The minimalist torso silhouette paired with the vertical oak or pine slat stand creates a modernist aesthetic, making this dress form not only a collectible object of fashion history but also a distinctive decorative accent for interiors. Its sculptural quality allows it to function as both artifact and art object.
Origin: USA or Europe
Date: Circa 1940s–1960s
Very good vintage condition. The papier-mâché surface shows natural irregularities, patina, and light wear consistent with age. Structurally sound with stand intact.

Late 19th Century Japanese Carved Hardwood Okimono of a Man, circa 1890
Located in Central England, GB
Late 19th C Japanese carved hardwood okimono of a man, circa 1890
This top quality and most impressive large scale Japanese carved hardwood okimono superbly depicts a characterful study of a delightfully crafty looking man. He is dressed simply in a robe. On his back, he has a rolled woven mat for resting and a turtle shell sun hat hangs below. On his side hanging from his waist sash, there is a simple hand fan made from woven palm leaves and around his neck, he is wearing a string of very large beads. This unfortunate character is on a journey and he seems to have lost or broken one sandal. His foot is sore and he is resting it on his gnarly walking stick. He has one arm outstretched and is holding out a large piece of fresh fruit as an offering perhaps to barter for new sandals...

19th Century Carved Oak Study of St. Paul the Apostle, English, circa 1860
Located in Central England, GB
This remarkable and very finely carved study of the biblical figure of St Paul, The Apostle who was originally Saul of Tarsus born BCE. Tarsus in Cilicia (now in Turkey). He died circa 62 – 64 CE in Rome, Italy. He was one of the leaders of the first generation Christians and was often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. This highly accomplished wood carving is a difficult material for detailing English oak. It shows him standing barefoot and dressed in simple robes with a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other. His face has been well captured with a good expression, detailed hair and a long beard. The small scale of this figure would indicate it was not originally church decoration...
