Standing approximately 44 cm (17.3 inches) tall.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasuring approximately 44 cm (17.3 inches) in height, this sacred devotional figure was most likely crafted between 1750 and 1800 and originated from a monastic setting, where it was venerated in a monastery or religious cell.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe figure features articulated arms, a gentle facial expression, and a beautifully aged surface that reveals layers of worn paint and exposed gesso. Cracks, flaking, and surface loss add to its powerful presence and authentic wabi-sabi charm. This rare religious artifact is ideal for collectors of devotional art, sacred antiques, and folk Catholic heritage.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDetails:\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: France\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDate: 18th century\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSubject: Baby Jesus \/ Santo Niño\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Hand-carved wood with gesso (gypsum) layer and original polychrome paint\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 44 cm (17.3 in)\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: Significant age-related wear, paint loss, visible gesso, stable structure\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures: Articulated arms, expressive face, stand included\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n50 Hashtags:\n\u003cbr\u003e\n#SantoNiño #BabyJesus #18thCenturyAntique #FrenchAntique #HandCarvedFigure #DevotionalArt #ReligiousIcon #AntiqueSantos #SacredArt #WabiSabiDecor #ChristianAntique #PolychromePaint #HolyChild #RusticAntique #FolkArt #SantosFigure #AntiqueDevotion #ReligiousCollectible #ChristChild #SpiritualObject #PrimitiveSacredArt #OldWorldCharm #SoulfulDecor #SacredTreasure #EtsyAntiques #WoodenIcon #WornBeauty #SacredSymbol #TimewornCharm #AntiqueJesus #FrenchSantos #HolyFigure #VintageDevotion #HistoricRelic #DevotionalFigure #HandmadeAntique #ArtWithSoul #CatholicHeritage #RusticSpirituality #AntiqueNativity #SacredHeart #HeavenlyFigure #AntiqueFaith #EuropeanAntique #WornPolychrome #CollectorsPiece #AntiqueReligiousArt #SpiritualRelic #ChippyPaintLove #OriginalGesso #GessoLayer\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nProvenance: private collection Zeeland, the netherlands\n\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Ausema","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56744350581060,"sku":"AUS-2003","price":475.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/2281\/2228\/files\/il_fullxfull.7035465064_o2la.jpg?v=1778568942","url":"https:\/\/houseofausema.com\/products\/18th-century-french-santo-nino-figure-hand-carved-polychrome-wood","provider":"Ausema","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
