18th C., Oak Carved Religious Statue of Saint Jerome (Croatian)

18th century
Description

18th Century, Oak Carved Religious Statue of Saint Jerome (Croatian).

Intricately carved circa 1780, with stunning patina, and an ingraved scent of incense gained over 230 years in the church it was purchased from in Croatia. Standing at just over four feet, this statue of Saint Jerome (342-420 AD) shows him wearing a cardinals robe, carrying a galero and a cup on his belt, carrying prayer beads and a crucifix. The craftsmanship of this piece is exceptional.

Saint Jerome, also known as Jerome of Stridon, was an early Christian priest, confessor, theologian, translator, and historian. He is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin. The Catholic Church recognizes him as the patron saint of translators, librarians, and encyclopedists.

CONDITION:

Wear commensurate with age. Stunning patina. No major cracks and no missing elements.

PROVENANCE:

Purchased from a tenth-century Christian Church in Croatia after several were forced to close due to disrepair.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Eighteenth-century ecclesiastical carvings typically feature figurative depictions with detailed drapery, symbolic attributes, and expressive postures tailored for personal or church devotional use.

Sculptors across Continental Europe primarily utilised regional hardwoods such as oak, walnut, lime, and pine, which allowed for intricate hand-carving and durable construction.

Authentic pieces generally display period-correct hand-tool marks, natural wood shrinkage along the grain, stable age-related surface oxidisation, and original joinery on the base or plinth.

A carved figure functions well as a focal accent on a sideboard, bookshelf, or mantle, bringing texture, deep wood tones, and historical structure into modern or eclectic spaces.

Keep carved oak sculptures away from direct heat sources and high humidity fluctuations, dusting gently with a soft dry brush and applying a neutral microcrystalline wax occasionally.
