NEAPOLITAN Painted Terracotta And Wood CRECHE Female Figure 16"

This is a LATE 18TH/EARLY 19TH CENTURY Creche figure, probably created for a noble home. Today the beauty of her silk dressing with metallic laced appliques are proof of her holy splendor. She has an Italian pretty face with molded black hair, glass eyes, sweet smile, carved finely molded figure, standing with hands expressively posed. She has painted and gesso wooden head, arms, and legs, and body molded with hemp stuffing. Figure is 16 inch tall.

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.
