About the Item
A magnificent display of mastery level woodworking, this antique oval plaque of St Luke was not only carved in bas relief, but it has an incurved shape. The concave plaque has several rings of quarter round borders along the edge, with four floral margents that traverse across all tiers of the molding. In the center of the plaque is St Luke holding a book, inkwell, and quill in his left hand, while his right hand is cradling the head of a bull. It is common for Luke to be depicted in art with either an ox or a bull, and as an author of Scripture, he is frequently shown holding a book, a pen, or both.
Hand carved in the Regence period, circa 1720, the scene is mostly bas relief, however, there are a few elements that are mid relief, such as Luke’s head, his right knee, and part of the bull’s head. In addition, the curvature of the wood makes for quite an amazing view from any angle. The plaque currently is affixed to a contemporary stand with a painted black base, but there is also an eyelet in the back to hang this exquisitely carved plaque of St Luke on a wall in a hallway, living room, or bedroom.

Large 18th Century Wooden Carving of an Angel with Cherubs
Located in Dallas, TX
This endearing hand carved wooden statue depicts a large central angel, flanked by two winged cherubs. The grouping has been stripped recently, allowing the skill of the carver to be displayed in full. The removal of the original finish also gives additional character to the statue, as the centuries old repairs are now visible, as seen on the leg of the cherub to the angel’s left.
The angel is touching the hand of one cherub and the top of the head of the other as though protecting them. They are standing upon a platform with stylized circular clouds swirling around them. The tall angel wears a robe with tassels draped over his shoulders and tied at his waist. The winged cherubs are shown as full figures, which was often seen in the 18th century, as well as during the Renaissance. In the Baroque period, they were often shown only as winged cherub heads. The piece is of Western European origin, possibly the Netherlands, Belgium, or Germany.
At nearly 4 feet by 4 feet, this statue is of a particularly large size, especially considering it is a figural grouping. The back of the piece is a series of plain, horizontal boards...
