Sculpture

Superb and moving combined display of private devotion and Christian folk art, pairing an ancient statuette and its period protective case, consisting of - The Child Jesus (Folk Art / Monastic Work, Circa 1900) in wood, in good condition with an incredible patina - Napoleon III Box, circa 1860-1880 :• Box in repoussé metal (original golden/bronze patina or brass) adorned on the lid with the imperial eagle inscribed within a laurel crown, emblem of the Second Empire. The front face features a decoration of an architectural blazon among floral scrolls. The box rests on four small feet (the feet are in poor condition and some have been replaced) The interior magnificent and rare original button-tufted green silk/satin upholstery, ideal preserved, which serves as a protective case for the Christ (note small missing parts) Splendid unique and historic ensemble, perfect for a collector of religious art. Good bidding to all As with all my items put up for auction on this site, this wonder has undergone no cleaning (just dusting), nor modification since purchase Any damage not mentioned in the text, but visible in the photos is considered described. If you are outside the European Union you may bid on one of my lots however no claim will be possible in case of trouble during transport Given the new import/export regulations to the USA there will be no shipment to that country. Careful professional shipping, with signature and insurance.
