What periods do these sculptures cover?

The pieces span multiple centuries, ranging from early European religious carvings of the sixteenth century through seventeenth-century temple figures and eighteenth-century saints. Nineteenth-century works form a substantial portion of the selection, including Victorian pieces, Black Forest animal studies, and Burmese statues from the 1900s.

Where do these wooden sculptures originate?

Geographical origins are remarkably diverse, encompassing European workshops, Chinese dynasties, and South East Asian traditions. You will find items representing Chinese Buddhist art, Burmese Nats, Indian folk art, and European ecclesiastical traditions alongside Black Forest studies.

How should I display a wooden sculpture?

Freestanding statues and figures require stable placement away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity, which can cause timber to split. Many collectors utilise dedicated wooden pedestals or wall plaques, both of which appear alongside statues in this inventory to support proper display.

What materials are beneath the paint?

The underlying material is solid carved wood, with specific listings noting lime wood, mahogany, and general hardwoods. Carvers shaped these timbers before applying decorative surfaces such as gesso, lacquer, polychrome paint, or gold leaf.
