About the Item

Stunning, hand carved work of devotional art with a beautiful patina. Saint Teresa of Ávila, born Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada, also called Saint Teresa of Jesus (1515-1582), was a Spanish noblewoman who chose a monastic life in the Roman Catholic Church. This perfectly hand carved and stunning sculpture of Saint Teresa (one of the patron saints of Spain) dates from the early 1900s. We were once taught that a top quality sculpture looks perfect from all angles and that certainly is the case here. Her body posture is exactly what a real person looks like in this stance and the way her clothes are draped around her body too reveil the talent of, what can only have been, a master sculptor. This superb quality and mint condition statuette is entirely hand carved out of one solid piece of mahonie-wood and it also has the most beautiful patina. She was not put on the octagonal base later, the base too came out of that same piece of solid wood. This incredibly well crafted sculpture bears no signature and we like to believe that this is the case, because the artist wanted to leave its purity and divinity intact. If Saint Teresa holds a special place in your heart and/or if her life touches your inner being then maybe you should be her next custodian. Mind you, our price for this rare antique sculpture includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth 20.6 x 6.5 x 5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by.
