Large Hand Carved Antique Sculpture of Apparition of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary

About the Item

One of a kind, large and marvelous work of religious art. With thanks to one of our honorable Frater clients we have learned that this unique and marvelously hand carved wall sculpture is a carving depicting the famous apparition of Jesus to the 17th century French Visitation nun, Saint Margaret Mary Alocoque. This probably is the scene in which He asks her to establish devotion to His Sacred Heart. We have never seen a sculpture of this subject matter and for us to have found one of this large size and of such quality more than made our day. Hand carved out of solid oak, both the details and the depth of this antique wall sculpture make it an absolute joy to behold. The warm patina makes it even more striking. The quality of the workmanship and the deeper meaning of all that is being told (symbolically) in this sculpture makes it a marvelous 'gesamtkunstwerk'. One that will never fail to impress. If the devotion of the sacred heart is of special meaning to you or if you are a collector of meaningful and unique church sculptures then maybe you should be its next custodian. This large sculpture too is great value for money. Also, because perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 31 x 49 x 4.7 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
