Set of Four Vintage Polychrome Hand-Painted Plaster Religious Figures | Madonna and Saints

A Quiet Quartet of Devotion

Four hand-painted plaster figures gather here like old friends who have known a century of prayer between them. There is Our Lady of Lourdes, serene beneath her veil with rosary in hand, a tender Madonna cradling the Christ Child, and two graceful saints lost in quiet contemplation. Each was modelled and painted entirely by hand in glowing polychrome, with soft gilding catching the light along robe and hem. Mid-century continental craftsmanship in the great Italian devotional tradition, they carry the gentle patina of age without losing an ounce of their grace. A collected set, sold together, ready to bring a little stillness wherever they land.

Styling & Collectors Inspiration

These four make a soulful tableau on a console, a mantel, or a sunlit windowsill, and they play beautifully with other devotional and sculptural pieces. Gather them alongside our Chinese Porcelain Guanyin Bust for a cross-cultural meditation on the sacred feminine, or set them near the Antique Chinese Wood Carving with Gilded Motifs to echo their own gilt highlights. For a calm, contemplative corner pair them with our Zen Gemstone Fountain, or add the characterful Cast Iron Greyhound Bust for a sculptural counterpoint. Collectors of religious folk art, nativity makers and lovers of vintage Italian statuary will find much to love.
