Antique Hand Carved Mary & Child Jesus Sitting on Clouds w. Saint Wall Sculpture
About the Item
Hand carved, ecclesiastical wall sculpture from the mid 1800s.
With antique church relics being one of our specialities, we have seen the Virgin Mary and Her child Jesus depicted in all kinds of ways and from all kinds of materials. However, we never saw this holy image with Mary and Jesus sitting in the clouds and with, what looks to be, Saint Anthony kneeling at their feet. The superbly hand carved image of this Mother and child is of great quality, it is joyous, it is inspiring and therefor wonderful to own and look at. The deep relief makes this large sculpture stand out even more and the patina of this superb condition, antique too is second to none. Have you also noticed the tiny hand of Jesus with the two fingers sticking out? The two fingers of the left hand signified the two natures in Christ (human and divine) and the other three fingers together signified the Holy Trinity. We lack the knowledge, but this could be a biblical story told in a sculpture or has there ever been an apparition Of The Virgin Mary And Baby Jesus In The Clouds? We are certain we have clients who are far more knowledgable that do know. Either way, having been given the opportunity to purchase this unique and meaningful antique more than made our day and for it to be in such superb condition felt like a blessing. If you were to be the next custodian, please take it upon you to take perfect care of this church relic for as long as you own it. Thanks to the original, hand-forged and integrated iron hook on the back, safely mounting this striking antique sculpture could not be any easier.
Mind you, our fair price for this unique church relic even includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. If you are in the US then you will not have to pay any import duties either as we will take care of the necessary paperwork for that also.
Maximum height x width x depth: 31.7 x 23.2 x 2.3 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic 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 Wall Display Cabinet with a Rare Mary & Child Jesus Sculpture FragmentLocated in Lisse, NLOne of a kind, handcrafted display cabinet with a rare religious artefact. This excellent wall display cabinet still opens and closes perfectly and it comes with the original antique glass in the door. Finding antiques with the original glass with that beautiful ripple in it, always makes those pieces extra desirable (in our view). The striking acorn and leaf motifs in the handcrafted, molded borders of the door too are very stylish features to enjoy. Over the decades the gilding has slightly warn off, which has created a marvelous patina. Given the style, age and perfect fit, we think that this antique wall cabinet was specifically made for the rare religious fragment that it is holding. If you like this unique display cabinet then you will love the rare fragment it is holding. From the missing pieces on the sides you can see that this Virgin Mary and child Jesus plaque...Category

- 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

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.
