About the Item

"Carved Oak Statue Of Saint Peter – Late 16th Century, Northern Europe" Carved Oak Statue of Saint Peter – Late 16th Century, Northern Europe Origin: Northern Europe, likely Southern Germany or the Low Countries (Flanders) Date: Circa 1550–1600 Material: Carved oak with remnants of original polychromy and gilding Dimensions: Height 27.5 cm Condition: Good antique condition with surface wear and craquelure consistent with age; minor losses to polychromy and base Description An expressive and finely carved late 16th-century devotional statue depicting Saint Peter, identifiable by the book and keys he holds in his left hand—traditional symbols of his apostolic authority. Carved in oak, the figure is rendered in a frontal pose, with gently flowing drapery and a calm, introspective expression. Traces of the original polychromy and gilding remain visible throughout, particularly in the folds of the robe, adding warmth and historical depth. The sculptor's attention to detail—especially in the hands, facial features, and rhythmic garment folds—reflects the transition from Gothic to early Renaissance stylistic language. This piece was likely intended as part of a private devotional setting or a niche figure in a church altarpiece, as evidenced by the hollowed underside and unfinished back. The restrained elegance, material, and execution suggest production by a provincial workshop in Southern Germany or Flanders, regions known for their sophisticated wood sculpture during the late 16th century.

Rare 18th C Wooden Statue of St. John the Baptist

Located in Chicago, IL

This exceptionally life-like antique sculpture is carved from linden wood and once decorated a French church or cathedral. The figure stands authoritatively, with right arm raised and index finger extended toward heaven. It probably stood on a base in a side chapel. According to Christian iconography of the period, this gesture signifies that salvation comes only through baptism. The figure wears a girdle of animal fir, probably from a bear, making symbolic reference to St. John the Baptist's life in the wilderness of Judea, between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. The elegantly carved robe is a baroque element that adds a sense of motion and energy to the artwork. Originally, the sculpture was polychromed, but the original pigments have weathered away and been replaced with whitewash. Repairs, losses, and insect damage are minor and expected due to great age. many vintage and antique religious sculptures...
