The figure portrays a Franciscan friar, we believe St. Francis, shown in a long brown hooded habit with his hands folded at his chest. His bearded face has a solemn, contemplative expression, and the robe falls in deep folds to his bare feet.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStanding 62\" tall, the statue has the scale and presence associated with ecclesiastical sculpture. Its dark brown painted finish has developed considerable wear and patina, emphasizing the carving and age of the piece. The figure rests on an integral shaped wood base and is well suited to a church, chapel, devotional space, or collection of European religious art.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike all our antiques, it was thoughtfully sourced in Europe, to be imported to our Oregon warehouse, and carefully finished with antique-grade paste wax to preserve its beauty for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece is in good antique condition with substantial surface wear consistent with its age and use. The painted finish has areas of loss, abrasion, and exposed wood, particularly around the lower robe, feet, and base. The underside and base show pronounced age-related wear and irregularity, as photographed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\n62\" high x 16\" wide x 13\" deep\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping:\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge items are carefully blanket-wrapped and delivered by trusted small-business transport companies experienced in handling antiques and fine furniture.
