18th Century Polychrome Wood Italian Antique Sculpture Roman Soldier, 1770s

About the Item

Great Italian sculpture from the second half of the 18th century. Finished wooden work from the center depicting an almost life-size Roman soldier. Statue complete with lacquered and gilded wooden base which raises it by 13 cm. Sculpture lacking iconographic references but, most likely, attributable to the figure of a Saint who was part of the Roman army (such as Saint Longinus, Saint Maurice or Saint Martin of Tours to name a few). Fabulous decor object for antique dealers, interior designers and collectors of ancient wooden sculptures. Work that underwent conservative restoration and color restoration during the 20th century. Overall in good condition.
