Bring a touch of timeless European history and rustic elegance into your home with this beautiful antique religious statuette. Hand-selected from France, this late 19th to early 20th-century piece is crafted from solid poured plaster (chalkware) and features a stunning, naturally weathered off-white patina that highlights its rich age and character.
The sculpture beautifully depicts Saint Joseph clad in traditional flowing robes, gently cradling the Infant Jesus in one arm while holding a stalk of lilies in the other—a classic symbol of purity and divine grace. Standing on a substantial, rounded pedestal base, this statue boasts wonderful texture, with minor surface wear, chips, and softened details that only time can create.
Perfect as a striking focal point for a mantel, bookshelf, home altar, or nested among a collection of vintage books and curiosities. This beautiful piece measures approximately 10" tall and 4" in diameter. This is in antique condition with authentic aged patina, minor chips, and surface weathering consistent with age.
