Description from the seller
Our Lady of Lourdes – polychrome biscuit porcelain – Germany – late 19th century
Professionally shipped – more than 1000 five-star reviews worldwide.
This sculpture depicts Our Lady of Lourdes, as Mary would have appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. Mary wears a white gown with a light blue sash and folds her hands in prayer. The roses at her feet and the long rosary reference the Marian apparitions at the Massabielle grotto and the devotion to Mary.
The sculpture is soberly polychromed with fine gilded accents. On the front of the pedestal is the inscription “N.D. de Lourdes”.
Height approximately 39 cm; in good overall condition with normal signs of aging and a small defect to Mary’s right hand. Marked with the pressed factory stamp of Gräfenthal, used between 1879 and 1886.
Please view the photos carefully; they are part of the description.
Shipped with track & trace.
