FAQs

Late medieval ecclesiastical wood carving is characterised by sacred figures depicted with detailed drapery, expressive facial features, and religious iconography, often originally finished with polychrome paint or gilding.

Sculptors typically used dense hardwoods such as oak, lindenwood, or walnut, which were carved by hand and frequently coated with gesso prior to applying pigment and gold leaf.

Authentic pieces show natural timber shrinkage, tool marks from hand chisels, age-related craquelure on paint layers, and wear concentrated on exposed areas such as hands and drapery folds.

Placing a carved figure as a focal point on a credenza, within an alcove, or alongside neutral textured backdrops highlights its architectural form and historic patina.

Keep the figure in a stable environment with controlled humidity, avoid direct heat sources, and clean gently using a soft dry brush rather than chemical polishes or water.
