The saint is depicted as a young friar wearing the characteristic hooded Franciscan habit with long flowing robes. He holds the Christ Child on his left arm (the Child sits on a book or cushion and raises one hand), while his right arm is extended outward (the hand is partially damaged and may originally have held a lily, a common attribute). The figure stands on an integral octagonal wooden base. Origin & Period Likely Italian, 18th century. The style, carving technique, and iconography are typical of popular religious sculpture produced in Italy during the 1750s for churches, chapels, or domestic devotion. Condition Solid carved wood with an aged, light natural patina. Visible remnants of original gilding (gold leaf) still present in several areas of the drapery and details. Extensive old woodworm holes throughout the surface (common on genuine antique wooden sculpture of this age). The wood appears stable; no active infestation observed. Some losses and wear consistent with age: incomplete right hand, surface abrasions, and minor chips. Overall an honest, unrestored piece with strong character and presence. This is an authentic period religious carving, not a modern reproduction. Ideal for collectors of Catholic saints, Italian folk art, or antique wooden sculpture. 📦 Shipping & Delivery Terms Handling time: Shipped within 1 business days after cleared payment.
