"Baroque Walnut Sculpture Of Saint Joseph And The Christ Child, Early 18th Century"
Baroque Walnut Sculpture of Saint Joseph and the Christ Child
Southern Netherlands or Germanic Region, Late 17th – Early 18th Century
Hand-carved walnut Height: 30 cm
This exquisite devotional sculpture, masterfully hand-carved from walnut, presents Saint Joseph holding the hand of the Christ Child, rendered with profound tenderness and grace. The figures are depicted in fluid, deeply carved drapery, characteristic of the late Baroque period, with expressive facial features and a sense of gentle movement.
Likely originating from the Southern Netherlands or the Germanic regions, this work embodies the craftsmanship and religious intensity typical of 17th to early 18th-century ecclesiastical wood carving. The Christ Child holds a symbolic orb—representing sovereignty or the globe—while gazing upward toward Saint Joseph, who is depicted with serene dignity and flowing hair.
The sculpture is richly patinated and shows authentic signs of age, including wormwood perforations and a natural split at the base, consistent with centuries-old devotional artifacts. These traces affirm its historicity and untouched character, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a deeply evocative and original piece.

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.
