NEAPOLITAN Bearded Male Painted Terracotta And Wood CRECHE Figure 16"

This was once a very elegant LATE 18TH/EARLY 19TH CENTURY Creche figure, probably created for a noble home. Today the remnants of his red silk clothing is proof of his once holy splendor. He has a classic Neapolitan face with molded brown hair and beard, glass eyes, serene expression, carved wood figure, standing with hands expressively posed. He has painted and gesso wooden head, arms, and legs, and body molded with hemp stuffing.

Figure 16 inches tall and is missing a fingers on his right hand and his foot is broken.

I have over 30 Creche Figures and would entertain a lot offer on them all. They have been together for so very long and I would be thrilled to keep them together. Email me for exact lot specifications. Only serious and respectful offers Please.
