18th Century Carved Statue Of Saint Nicholas

An early Italian carved wooden statue of Saint Nicholas.

It is very intricately carved with the saint robed in a cassock, cape and mitre, carrying a staff and a large volume.

It would have been gilded allover and there is still much present with the face having been originally painted.

It is all in original good condition with no restoration.

The statue is wonderfully atmospheric with a feeling of deep antiquity – Circa 1780-1800.
