Sculpture, Saint Joseph, 19th Century - 27 cm - Polychrome wood

Carved and polychromed wooden devotional figure depicting Saint Joseph with the Christ Child. Solid carving (not hollow), with original gesso and polychrome, including red cloak with gilt edging and patterned blue tunic. The circular base shows age-consistent wear, tool marks, and old fixing holes, consistent with long-term devotional or altar use. Southern European or colonial workshop tradition. Likely late 18th to early 19th century (c. 1780–1830). Height approx. 17.5 cm. Surface wear and paint loss consistent with age; no modern restoration observed. Antique devotional sculpture. Wear, losses, and surface irregularities are consistent with age and use and are not flaws or damage. No breaks, modern repairs, or later repainting observed. Attribution and dating reflect informed opinion based on material, construction, and style; differences of opinion are normal in folk devotional sculpture. Item is offered as-is and described in good faith.
