View Antique 14” Polychrome Chalkware Madonna Child Cherubs Religious Statue with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The hand-painted finish and layered sculptural detail give this piece the beautiful aged character collectors look for in old religious statuary. No maker’s mark is visible on the underside. A striking 14-inch polychrome chalkware/plaster Madonna and Child statue, richly decorated with multiple cherubs, roses, flowing drapery, and a crowned Virgin Mary. Religious chalkware figures like this became especially popular from the late 19th into the early 20th century, when painted devotional statues were widely displayed in Catholic homes, churches, and private prayer spaces. The hand-painted finish and layered sculptural detail give this piece the beautiful aged character collectors look for in old religious statuary. What makes this example especially appealing is the elaborate composition—far more detailed than a simple Madonna figure—with the Christ Child, several cherubs, floral decoration, dramatic folds, crown, and substantial round pedestal all incorporated into one sculptural piece. The surface shows authentic age with paint wear, rubbing, losses, and patina throughout. There is also visible damage/repair with material loss to one lower cherub, shown clearly in the photographs. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the condition description. No maker’s mark is visible on the underside. Condition: Antique/vintage condition with substantial age-related surface wear, paint loss, small chips, and visible damage/repair to one cherub. Box ABA 15-0 Condition: Used.
