About the Item

"Baroque Walnut Sculpture Of Saint Joseph And The Christ Child, Early 18th Century" Baroque Walnut Sculpture of Saint Joseph and the Christ Child Southern Netherlands or Germanic Region, Late 17th – Early 18th Century Hand-carved walnut Height: 30 cm This exquisite devotional sculpture, masterfully hand-carved from walnut, presents Saint Joseph holding the hand of the Christ Child, rendered with profound tenderness and grace. The figures are depicted in fluid, deeply carved drapery, characteristic of the late Baroque period, with expressive facial features and a sense of gentle movement. Likely originating from the Southern Netherlands or the Germanic regions, this work embodies the craftsmanship and religious intensity typical of 17th to early 18th-century ecclesiastical wood carving. The Christ Child holds a symbolic orb—representing sovereignty or the globe—while gazing upward toward Saint Joseph, who is depicted with serene dignity and flowing hair. The sculpture is richly patinated and shows authentic signs of age, including wormwood perforations and a natural split at the base, consistent with centuries-old devotional artifacts. These traces affirm its historicity and untouched character, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a deeply evocative and original piece.
