Antique Oak Church Wall Sculpture of Joseph, Mary & Child Jesus Raising Fingers
About the Item
Symbolic and meaningful work of religious art.
What we love most about this unique and entirely handcarved church sculpture is the serenity that it radiates. Joseph and Mary are as calm and serene as can be and the Child Jesus is looking at the sky as if He can already see the bigger picture. His upraised fingers suggest that indeed He already does, because symbolically the two raised fingers together point to Jesus' two natures. In that He is fully human and fully divine. The thumb also being up, signifies the Holy Trinity and, to us, this sculpture also portraits a Holy Trinity. In that way this Trinity also is the foundation of any family. This finely and deeply carved, solid oak sculpture from the mid to late 1800s would have graced the altar or wall of either a church or a monastery and we are thankful to be able to present it to you in such great condition. The artist whom created this antique clearly left us a wonderful sculpture 'with a soul', as we like to call it, and over the many decades it has also grown the most wonderful patina. Thanks to the antique metal hook on the back, safely mounting this work of Christian art tight to your wall could not be easier. This meaningful antique also makes a great gift for a devoud friend or loved one.
This antique church relic is great value for money. Especially when taking into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 3 to 5 days are complimentary.

Antique Hand Carved Large Size Statue of Saint Joseph and Child Jesus Sculpture
Located in Lisse, NL
Large and high quality carved antique sculpture of Joseph holding the child Jesus.
If you are looking for a great value for money, work of religious art then this quality carved church relic could be gracing your home or monastery or house of prayer soon. This may not have been carved out of the most expensive or hard woodtype, but that is not what this antique is about. This striking and meaningful sculpture is all about the natural manner in which both the little boy Jesus and Saint Joseph have been hand-carved out of wood and how an accomplished sculptor clearly has spent a whole lot of time, focus and dedication to get the details of this large and meaningful sculpture very right. In this case, the hands and feet, the curly hair, the serene facial expressions, the perfectly natural body postures AND the perfect draping of the cloths are the most eye-catching details. Ones that most mortals would never be able to create like this and it will have taken this skilled artisan weeks rather than days to create.
We believe that this unique antique is made of basswood or pine and it has been hand patinated (original). This was probably done to make the entire sculpure look more warm and calm (no wood grains taking away anything from the beautiful details we described). This meaningful and quality crafted work of religious art is ready for you to enjoy and, to us, it breathes a holy serenity and beauty that will never fail to impress. No matter where you decide to have it on display, this ecclesiastical antique will never fail to impress and if you already have a place in mind for 'them' then maybe you should be their next custodian.
Mind you, our price for this hand carved antique church statue...
