Vintage Italian St. Francis of Assisi Statue – Village Gifts Exclusive – Made in Italy – 8.5”
Beautiful vintage religious sculpture depicting St. Francis of Assisi surrounded by animals, including a wolf and lamb/sheep, with a bird perched near his shoulder.
This piece has a wonderful old-world Italian religious-art appearance, with detailed sculpting throughout the figure, animals, robe, facial features and base.
The original “Village Gifts Exclusive / Made in Italy” label is partially preserved on the underside. The remaining label fragments are shown clearly in the photos and are included as part of the item’s provenance.
Measurements:
* Overall height: approximately 8½ inches
* Base: approximately 3¼ inches
* Substantial, nicely detailed sculptural piece
Condition:
Pre-owned vintage condition with expected age/use-related wear. There are areas of surface wear, discoloration/patina and small imperfections consistent with age and handling. The underside has remnants of the original label and several felt protective pads. Please examine all photos carefully, as the photographs are an important part of the description.
I have not aggressively cleaned or refinished the piece, preserving its original aged appearance.
A great addition to a St. Francis collection, Italian religious-art collection, Catholic decor, vintage religious display, or Italian figurine collection.
Please see all photos for the exact condition and details of the piece pictured.
