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.

Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display Stand
Located in Lisse, NL
Top 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.

Antique Hand Carved Large Size Statue of Saint Joseph and Child Jesus Sculpture
Located in Lisse, NL
Large 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.
