Art Deco Gilded Saint Joan of Arc Figure

A poignant piece of history, this Art Deco Gilded Joan of Arc Figure is exquisite. This rare and evocative piece, commemorating the 400th anniversary of her martyrdom (1431-1931), captures the iconic Maid of Orléans at her most harrowing and triumphant moment: at the stake.

Fashioned from rich, aged brass, the statue possesses a captivating patina that speaks to its considerable age and history. Produced and signed on the back by the sculptor Escudero, his masterful artistry is evident in every detail, from the determined yet serene expression on Joan's face to the subtle folds of her garments and the stark depiction of the flames at her feet. Black wooden base makes a dramatic statement.

More than just a decorative object, this statue is a profound symbol of courage, unwavering faith, and ultimate sacrifice. It serves as a potent reminder of Joan of Arc's enduring legacy as a national heroine of France and a patron saint.
