A beautiful 18th century carved wooden figure depicting Saint Jude, hand carved and retaining traces of its original polychrome decoration.

Displaying centuries of age, character and devotion, the figure is carved in a traditional standing pose and retains a wonderfully untouched surface with exceptional patina.

The expressive facial features and flowing robes highlight the craftsmanship of the original maker, while the aged finish gives the piece tremendous presence.

Religious carvings of this age are increasingly sought after by collectors of ecclesiastical antiques, folk art and period interiors.

Equally suited to a country house, chapel, library or cabinet of curiosities display.

A genuine and atmospheric piece of 18th century religious art.
