About the Item
Stunning wooden Holy Heart of Christ statue.
An exceptional and deeply moving life-size hand-carved wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ, depicting the Sacred Heart. This monumental church figure is a powerful example of late 19th to early 20th century ecclesiastical art, created by a highly skilled artisan with extraordinary sensitivity and craftsmanship.
Carved entirely by hand, the sculpture radiates a quiet yet commanding presence. The serene facial expression, gentle gesture of blessing, and harmonious body posture convey compassion, protection, and spiritual strength. The Sacred Heart, finely detailed on the chest, forms the emotional and symbolic center of the work, emphasizing devotion, love, and sacrifice.
The surface displays a rich, time-softened patina, developed naturally over decades, which enhances the sculpture’s authenticity and soulful character. Subtle signs of age and wear are consistent with its long life in a religious setting and contribute beautifully to its depth and historical integrity.
This is not merely a decorative object, but a work of sacred art created with purpose and reverence, what can truly be described as an antique with a soul. Its impressive scale and presence make it especially suited for a church, chapel, monastery, or contemplative space, where it can once again serve as a source of inspiration, reflection, and hope.
A rare and remarkable piece of religious sculpture, both visually striking and spiritually resonant.

Antique Hand Carved Gothic Church Panel of Feeding Pelican as Symbol of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning religious wall panel in thick relief with strong hook for easy mounting.
For the collectors of stunning antique church relics we are also offering this marvelously hand carved pelican sculpture for wall mounting. The character ascribed to the pelican in this context is nearly as fabulous as that of the phœnix. From a clumsy, gluttonous, piscivorous water-bird, it was by the growth of legends transformed into a mystic emblem of Christ, whom Dante terms "Nostro Pelicano". St. Hieronymus gives the story of the pelican restoring its young ones destroyed by serpents as an illustration of the destruction of man by the old Serpent, and his salvation by the blood of Christ. The pelican in Christian art is an emblem of Jesus Christ, by "whose blood we are healed" and it is also a symbol of charity. Many early painters and carvers mistakenly represented it more similar to an eagle (much like in this antique church relic), and not as a natural pelican which is why most people today still are a bit confused at first when this stunning hand carved, symbolic bird is called a pelican.
This striking and all hand carved, symbolic panel was originally part of a church or monastery communion rail...
