About the Item

This beautiful antique Christ statue was hand carved in France, circa 1780. Standing on a octagonal integral base, the sculpture depicts our Lord Jesus Christ, a fine example of ecclesiastical art from that period. The figure is depicted with classical features, standing in a serene and benevolent pose. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed carving of the robes, facial expressions, and gestures. The walnut wood gives the statue a warm, rich tone, and has likely aged beautifully over centuries, adding to its patina and character. Such statues were often used in churches or private chapels, embodying the deep spiritual devotion of the era. This piece is both a work of art and a sacred object, reflecting the religious fervor and artistic skill of 18th-century France. The tall religious statue is in good condition commensurate with age and use, with wonderful facial and hand details, and adorns a rich walnut patina. Right hand missing. 8"W x 6"D x 28.5"H

Mid-18th Century French Carved Polychrome Statue of Moses in Oak Niche
Located in Dallas, TX
Crafted in France circa 1760 and resting in a carved oak niche, the figure depicts the prophet Moses, the most important prophet in Judaism and Christianity. Moses is best known from the story in the biblical Book of Exodus and Quran as the lawgiver who met God face-to-face on Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments after leading his people, the Hebrews, out of bondage in Egypt and to the "promised land" of Canaan. He is represented with horns on top of his head. The horns came about because of an ambiguity of the Latin version of Exodus 34, 30. After being addressed by God on top of Mount Sinai and given the Tablets of the Law containing the Ten Commandments, Moses descended to his people in the desert. His face was seen to shine with a divine light. (The first Moses with horns was commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb; it was based on a description in chapter 34 of Exodus in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible used at that time). The religious and biblical item...
