15th Century Gothic Carved Oak Sculpture – Figure of a Saint
A well-carved 15th-century Gothic oak sculpture depicting a standing male saint, swathed in flowing robes and holding a book in his left hand. The figure is rendered in bold relief with stylised drapery folds, a serene facial expression, and traces of residual polychrome in the recesses.
Likely produced for ecclesiastical display — perhaps as part of a rood screen, choir stall, or devotional niche — the sculpture combines sacred symbolism with sculptural rhythm. The oak has aged to a rich, dry tone with surface wear and minor losses consistent with age.
A rare survival of late medieval religious carving — ideal for collectors of Gothic sculpture, ecclesiastical fragments, or devotional art.
Provenance: Europe. 15th century.
Condition - as per images. Lacking part of his right hand but is good overall. This sculpture displays very well. A further condition report is available upon request.
