Italian Marble Head on Wooden Base, circa 1800

About the Item

This is an antique Italian carved marble head of a young man in a Greco/Roman helmet on a wooden base. The sculptor has adeptly portrayed his countenance as wide eyed innocence. The marble head rests on the wooden base by means of a small iron rod piercing the bottom center of the marble head. This allows the piece to easily be turned for best viewing.

Circa 1800 Carved Oak Sculptures of the Apostles, James, John, Peter, and Paul
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved in oak, circa 1800, these sculptures depict arguably the most important apostles: James, John, Peter, and Paul. All of the figures are distinctly different, although they share some commonalities, such as they are all barefoot and clad in ankle length tunics on a rectangular base with canted corners. The set would make fantastic decorative art for a mantel, shelf, or sofa table. The apostles as they appear in the main photo (from left to right): St. James (20 ¼” H x 7 ½” W x 5 ½” D): sometimes referred to as “James the Great”, he is depicted with long hair and a full beard above a cloak pinned...
