Hand Carved Antique Alabaster Bust Sculpture of Saint Clare of Assisi ca. 1915
About the Item
Top quality carved, practical size and used condition sculpture of a serene Saint Clare.
If you are a collector of antique and beautiful materials works of art in general and of religious artefacts in particular then this hand carved, lady Saint sculpture could be flying your way soon. Perfectly draped in her 'veil' there is a divinity to her presence that will never fail to impress. Judging from the quality, the style and the material, we feel that this solid alabaster sculpture from circa 1900 was made by a talented individual from the last generation of Italian master sculptors. For anyone to be able to carve a perfect and serene face like this out of a rock of alabaster, to us, is like the work of a higher power. The manner in which the cloth falls around her serene face is incredibly realistic too. Over the many decades this antique religious sculpture has had some repairs done to it, but that only adds to the character of this beautiful and important saint sculpture. Thanks to its durability this Saint Clare sculpture can be enjoyed by you and your loved ones for the rest of your lives and by generations after you. She brings beauty, grace and an almost tangible kind of peace, no matter where you decide to have her on display.

- 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

- Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display StandLocated in Lisse, NLTop quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name. This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us. Our fair price for this museum worthy sculpture again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
