[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4266655, member: 5833"]I'm finding it frustrating trying to find anything on the market comparable to this piece. This St. Joseph is 2 feet high: [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/373096384175[/URL] Not as large & detailed as yours. Price asked may be wishful thinking. You can pick the century on this site. The 18th century pieces are closer to yours than others: [URL]https://www.anticstore.art/mobilier/antique-wood-sculpture/18th-century[/URL] This St. Ambrose is 2 1/2 feet high & has elements other than the figure in the composition: [URL]https://www.anticstore.art/84322P[/URL] Did your grandparents buy antiques? This really is very well done. (I'm impressed with the hands & the survival of the fingers.) I think you're looking at quite a valuable piece, in part because of the popularity of dragons. The prices at this site are far less stratospheric than the ones on the antiques site. My favorite from the church furnishings site: [URL]https://churchantiques.com/product/small-china-putti-cherub-having-a-moment/[/URL][/QUOTE]
