This late fifteenth-century Netherlandish carved oak group depicts Saint Anne seated alongside the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. The sculpture displays hand-carved facial details, draped vestments, and a grape cluster motif held by Saint Anne, with the infant resting on the Virgin's lap and touching the Gospels resting on Saint Anne's lap. The medium-brown timber exhibits visible grain patterns throughout the carved figures and the shaped base. Measuring 33 cm high, 29 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, the compact three-dimensional group fits neatly onto a mantelpiece, display cabinet, or sideboard top. Placed within a traditional or gothic-inspired interior, the sculpture functions as an ornamental centrepiece on a prominent surface in a living room, hallway, or study.

FAQs

An Anna Selbdritt, also known as Saint Anne with the Virgin and Child, is a traditional devotional subject in Christian iconography that gained widespread popularity during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, particularly in Northern Europe.

Sculptures from this era were typically hand-carved from a single block of dense European oak, utilising gouges and chisels, and were frequently finished with polychrome paint or left unpainted to display the natural wood grain.

Authentic 15th-century carvings exhibit characteristic chisel tool marks, natural shrinkage cracks parallel to the grain, historical patination, and stylistic drapery folds typical of the Late Gothic period.

A late Gothic sculpture serves as a focused architectural accent when placed on a minimalist sideboard, within a recessed bookshelf, or on a mantelpiece alongside clean-lined neutral decor.

Maintain the sculpture by dusting gently with a soft dry brush, keeping it away from direct heat sources or high humidity, and applying a thin coat of natural beeswax polish sparingly.
