Large carved wooden church statue (circa 1830) – Saint Anne – 102 cm

For sale: a superb and authentic carved wooden church statue made from a single block (monoxyle), dating from the first half of the 19th century (Restoration period / July Monarchy, around 1830). It represents a traditional theme of sacred art: the Education of the Virgin, showing Saint Anne teaching her daughter, the young Virgin Mary, to read with the help of a large open book. • Material: Old solid wood (the underside of the base shows raw wood, confirming its authenticity and age). • Finish: Fully cleaned. The entire piece has received a protective patina of liquid wax stained dark oak. This treatment nourishes the material and gives it a superb satin appearance with an "antique bronze" or "precious wood" effect that beautifully catches the light in the drapery and faces. • Dimensions: Height: 102 cm|Maximum width: 30 cm|Maximum depth: 40 cm. • Weight: 28 kg (a very stable and massive piece). Ideal for collectors of religious art, enthusiasts of the high period, or for decorating an old property, manor, castle, or private chapel. Delivery: Given the weight (28 kg) and value of the piece, local pickup is preferred. However, I can personally ensure delivery to your home within a 100-kilometer radius of Roanne.
