Group 5 Antique Polychrome Carved Wood Saint Or Worshipper Statues WWII Written Provenance 11.5 To 19.5 Inches, Note: According to the family, this figure group was discovered in Europe during World War II and is accompanied by an interesting content photocopy of a photocopy of a personal letter on American Red Cross War Relief letterhead dating from 1943. In the letter the sender, signing simply as Howard, identifies the figures as Christmas season church decorations from the 17th century which, according to the author Howard, was verified by an unidentified museum director. The letter also references a circa 1500 walnut crucifix not present in the estate. The sculpture modeling is very sophisticated however we are uncertain of the exact century of creation in part because the soles of the shoes and the garments may only be antique rather than Renaissance, however it is plausible those elements may have been added and or replaced. Simply offered as over 100 years old or older to much older. In addition to the photocopy of the photocopy, the lot is accompanied by 5 modern doll stands. See condition report including for finger damages and various scattered wear. Provenance: Florida Gulf Coast Estate tracing ancestry to the 1943 letter author, names withheld and exact lineages from the letter to the present day not made available.
