Beautiful and imposing Italian devotional statue of the Madonna of Loreto with Child, marked “VIRGO LAURETANA” on the base.
The statue is made of solid, substantial resin and is entirely hand-painted with an elegant combination of ivory, black, red and gold. The richly decorated mantle features religious and heraldic motifs, crosses, stars and heart details, while the Madonna and Child are crowned with elaborate gilded crowns.
The solid construction gives the statue considerable presence, with a weight of 1.25 kg despite its relatively slender form. The hand-painted decoration and individual details give it the character of a traditional Italian devotional object rather than a simple modern decorative reproduction.
The exact production date is not documented. Based on its materials, construction and decorative style, the piece is offered as a Vintage Italian devotional object, without assigning an unverified specific year.
