About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This is an antique wood sculpture depicting Saint George on horseback, originating from the Val Gardena (Gröden) region of Tyrol. Dated to circa 1900, the piece is attributed to the circle of the Demetz family, who are renowned for their tradition of fine woodcarving. The sculpture captures the classic iconographic moment of Saint George slaying the dragon in a dynamic and expressive composition. The work is hand-carved from wood and finished with a polychrome painted surface. It features a rich palette of colours, including a white and grey dappled horse, a green dragon, and Saint George in armour with a red cape and gold-leaf accents. The entire scene is mounted on an integrated, dark-painted octagonal base, characteristic of the regional style. The craftsmanship reflects the long-standing artistic heritage of Tyrolean religious sculpture. This piece presents with a significant and authentic patina that speaks to its age of over a century. The painted surfaces show wear and craquelure consistent with its history, which contributes to its character as a genuine antique. The overall structure of the sculpture remains solid and intact, preserving the dramatic narrative of the carving. As a work of devotional or folk art, this sculpture would be a significant addition to a collection of European antiques or religious artifacts. Its scale and detailed execution make it a compelling focal point for a console table, mantelpiece, or within a display cabinet, complementing classic or rustic interiors.
