Antiqued Madonna and Child Wood Statue

from the Bernardi Woodart Studios

A beautiful depiction of Our Lady cradling the Jesus. This lovely work of art is made from 1 solid piece of hand-carved wood and hand painted with the Craquele-technique style of painting that creates a surface finish with very small breaks to give the piece and aged look.
Statue stands 50cm (about 20 inches), tall.

Carved from the finest kiln dried lindenwood from the forests of the Italian Alps.

In the valleys of northern Italy's Alps the Bernardi family of artisans have been creating exquisite nativities and statuary generation after generation for over 400 years. Each unique piece is then hand stained, painted and gilded with impeccable attention to detail - no two exactly alike.

Their work has been chosen to grace the churches, villas, cathedrals and homes of Europe for 400 years, and now, this beautiful statuary will be available in the United States from In His Name Catholic Store.
