French antique Saint Antoine statue. French religious statue.

French antique Saint Antoine statue. French antique bisque porcelain statue of Saint Antoine. here we have a splendid statue in porcelain showing Saint Antoine holding a child. I believe that Saint Antoine is the patron saint of lost things. It is very nicely modelled and is in good condition for its age with just some minor paint losses and rubs here and there. He is wearing a red sash over a blue robe and holds a lily in his left hand. there is some gilt decoration to the base. I would say this is quite an old statue probably dating to the early twentieth century or possibly late nineteenth. when we found it it was almost black and took quite a lot of cleaning. I imagine it was probably stood on the same Norman fireplace for many many years. A charming religious statue that would make a fabulous addition to any collection.
