Small 17th Century Oak Carved Bust from France

About the Item

A small oak bust, dating to the 1600s, this well-carved wooden statue hails from France. Depicting an unknown religious figure, the sculpture has a deep rich brown patina, enhancing the nuances of the carvings. The pious man with shoulder-length hair has a stoic look on his bearded face and is clad in a billowing robe. His hands are depicted close to his torso, possibly indicating that he once held an item. Based on the positioning of his hands, the man may be Moses, clutching stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments. A well-preserved 17th-century sculpture, our French oak bust is rigged for hanging, allowing the tremendous work of art to be displayed on the wall of just about any room of the house.

Pair of French 17th Century Angel Candle Holders in Carved Elmwood

Located in Dallas, TX

Standing at over two feet tall, this 17th century pair of angel candlesticks has been carved out of a beautiful French elm wood. Because elm wood typically has an interlocked grain, it can be quite difficult to carve or split. These candlesticks were produced by a master craftsman in France during the 1600s. Our angels have long, wavy hair that extends past their shoulders. They are wearing long flowing gowns with scalloped collars and half sleeves. The loosely draped robe reaches their ankles, exposing bare feet that stand upon a round base. One leg is also visible from behind the material due to a slit at mid-thigh. Each angel is holding a turned candle holder that has a large wrought iron pricket with a lobed bobeche. In France, this type of candle holder is known as an Ange Céroféraire. A ceroferary is the acolyte...
