Reserved for L: Infant of Prague Chalkware Statue with Crown and Vestments

$108.00

Sorry, this item has sold.

This Infant of Prague statue is 21.5" in height from the upper edge of his crown to the foot of the base.
I believe this piece is circa 1950s. Please use the zoom function to see the photos magnified.

There are two gowns and seven cloaks. The cloak colors are symbolic and are green (for life and hope and the most commonly used), purple (penance, for Advent and Lent), red (blood and fire, for Holy Week, Pentecost, and Feasts of the Holy Cross), white (glory, purity and holiness, for Easter and Christmas), gold (the color of feast), silver, and cream or off-white. Both gowns and cloaks are in a rich, probably bridal quality satin, with lace, trim, and embellishments.

Condition issues:

Please note the wear and rubs to the paint, particularly on the front and back of the chalkware crown. I have another close-up of the chalkware crown from the back but was unable to show it owing to lack of space, I'll be happy to send it to you on here; just let me know. Also, if you would like any other photos of this statue or of the vestments, let me know. (Photos 4 and 5)

The globus cruciger has some rubbing to the gold paint. (Photos 1 and 3)

The back of the chalkware robe has a splotch of orange paint, and there are cracks that looks as if the paint might peel. Care should be taken when handling this or perhaps the chalkware robe can be conserved. (Photo 6)

There is a chip to the hem of the chalkware robe. It measures approximately .25".(Photo 7) There is some small chipping on the corners of the base. Please let me know if you'd like more photos of the base.

The metal crown is missing one of the stones. Also, I am uncertain if the crown was made this way or if it was cut, but one can see that it is missing a piece in the back, and a thin wire is used to tighten or loosen the piece when placed upon the chalkware crown. (Photo 8)

The statue, crown, two gowns, and seven cloaks are being sold together.

The statue weighs almost 11 pounds and will be fully insured, wrapped and packaged with the utmost security, and shipped via Ground (USPS) unless you specify Priority in shipping options. If you've overpaid in shipping fees by $1.00 or more, the difference will be refunded to you immediately upon shipment of your statue and vestments.

Thank you for looking.
