Antique and Large Hand Carved Wooden Saint Anthony of Padua Statue / Sculpture
About the Item
Finest quality carved statue of Saint Anthony holding the child Jesus.
This rare wooden statue of Saint Anthony and the child Jesus is in very good condition. This work of religious art is all handcarved out of solid wood and it has the color of plaster. We believe that this may have been done in the second World War to make it look less interesting for looters. Mind you, when you look at the knotts hanging along Anthony's habit in close up then you can see that they are gilt or gold painted underneith the plaster-color paint. What ofcourse has remained the same is the serene facial expression of Anthony and the joyous child Jesus on his arm. They truly are a joy to look at. The quality of the faces, but especially the natural and realistic manner in which they are standing and sitting (in other words their body postures) reveil that this large size church sculpture is the work of a master carver and a seasoned artisan. The details in the hands and feet of Anthony, the way his habit is 'draped' and the perfect, natural body postures of the two make this very rare and large wooden statue really remarkable. We believe this is the perfect gift for a church or monastery, but we would not be surprised if a private buyer with an affinity with Anthony and his life will happily want to give this statue a new home. We feel blessed to be able to offer it to you in such fine condition and we are certain that this stunning Anthony and Jesus will look great everywhere.
Mind you, our fair price for this one of a kind antique even includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 workdays.
Maximum height x width x depth: 51 x 15.75 x 13.2 inches.
Weight: circa 29 kilo or 64 pounds lbs.
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).

- Antique Hand Carved Large Size Statue of Saint Joseph and Child Jesus SculptureLocated in Lisse, NLLarge 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...Category

- Antique Hand Carved Gilt Wooden Church Statue of Saint Francis & Clare of AssisiLocated in Lisse, NLFor the collectors of unique and remarkable works of religious art. About ten years ago I was fortunate enough to have been invited to Italy for a week. In that week we visited the St. Francis Basilica in Assisi, the place where the world famous Saint Francis was born and where he is buried. For these unique sculptures to have found their way to us, again felt like a blessing. These amazing workmanship and aesthetically pleasing saint statues, we feel, were not created for one person alone, they were made to be seen and appreciated by a larger community. Those who know about Saint Francis will probably know about Saint Clare...Category

- Antique Large Carved Oak Figure of Saint Anthony of Padua, 18th-19th CenturyLocated in New York, NYFine hand carved oak figure of Saint Anthony of Padua Late 18th- Early 19th Century Saint Anthony is depicted with his head raised, mouth ajar, as if in the process of speaking. He stands upright wearing his traditional Franciscan robes and holding open a book. Beautifully carved with high level of detail, unusual for oak pieces. Oak is a dense hardwood which is difficult to carve and it's rare to see this level of detail in an early oak sculpture. Saint Anthony is the Patron Saint of lost things. While living at the monastery, he had a treasured book which contained psalms and personal observations. His book was stolen by a man who decided to leave the monastery and Anthony ferverently prayed for its return as the cost of a new book would have been beyond his means. The thief repented and returned the book which is believed to be preserved at the Franciscan Library in Bologna. He is one of the most popular Catholic saints...Category
