Beyond Rare, One Of A Kind, Infant of Prague #1

This beautiful Infant of Prague Chalkware statue is from the most desired Italian "Columbia Statuary Company" (marked on bottom of statue). This is a Vintage Chalkware Infant of Prague Statue, we believe made in the 1950's or early 1960's. We acquired this antique piece at a high end estate sale. Statue measures apx 15" high from base to crown. A 3.2 ounce heavy weight detailed brass crown has a mix of 50 stunning rhinestones of emeralds, rubies, topaz, and diamond jewels. There is a beautiful designed brass gold tone crucifix in the blue ball in the left hand. The under dress is handmade and very detailed. The outer robe is also handmade. The edging all around the outer robe has thousands of little pearl like beads on a beautiful designed up and down embroider, edged in tiny round silver beads. Throughout the entire outer garment are many different and visual pleasing and sparkling silver designs. This Infant of Prague is the most incredible statue I have ever seen in my lifetime.  As is common with Chalkware this statue had a chip over the right eye which I repaired. The repair went well but due to age it was difficult to match the flesh color on the face perfectly but as you see in the picture the color is very close. A few flecks of paint were off the right hand and touch up flesh paint was added there. The base which is not seen because of the gown and outer robe, has a smaller section missing but this does not effect how the statue stands in any way and again is not noticeable with clothing on. One could search a lifetime and never find an antique  Chalkware Infant of Prague some 50 to 60 years old with such amazing clothing and removable crown with such detailing. We guarantee you will love this statue passing it on from generation to generation. ONLY ONE AVAILABLE.

This statue will be shipped USPS Priority Mail.  $195.00.
