Description from the seller
Polychrome and gilded carved wooden Saint Nicholas – 18th century
Beautiful religious sculpture representing Saint Nicholas, depicted as a bishop, wearing the mitre and rich pontifical ornaments. The right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing, while the left hand originally was to hold his episcopal staff, now gone.
Carved wood preserving a beautiful old polychromy in red, black and gold. Expressive face, deeply carved drapery and a substantial episcopal cape.
Minor small losses and alterations of the polychromy related to age, visible in the photographs. Beautiful antique patina.
The photos are an integral part of the item description and complete its presentation. They allow one to appreciate its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before placing any bid
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
