Antique lot 3 hand carved polychrome wood panels dating back to 18th/19th century. All 3 show genuine age, polychrome paint with appropriate wear and patina, and would display beautifully together or split across a collection. Piece 1 – S Giorgio (St George and dragon) A carved polychrome wood relief depicting St George on horseback slaying the dragon, with the rescued princess standing at the right. Hand inscribed S Giorgio along the base. Stepped wooden base approximately 9.5″ tall and 7″ wide. Likely 18th/19th century abc appears to be an original altar or retablo fragment later mounted for display. Piece 2 – Holy family / Religious scene relief Companion style carved polychrome wood relief showing a robed family group – a male figure (likely Joseph), a female figure, a child between them, with two winged angels above holding a canopy or crown. Mounted on a matching stepped wooden display base. Approximately 9.5″ tall and 7″ wide. Same workshop or tradition as piece 1. Piece 3 – Carved openwork floral pattern A pierced carved wood architectural pattern with stylized foliate and floral motifs in deep red and yellow-green polychrome. Likely an Asian architectural fragment (Balinese, Javanese Chinese), late 19th to early 20th century, originally part of a piece of furniture, screen, or building element. Approximately 7″ x 6″. All 3 pieces show paint loss, shelf wear, minor losses, and patina entirely consistent with age. The two religious reliefs appear to be mounted to their wooden bases at a later date (likely early to mid 20th century). A common practice for repurposing church art fragments for the decorative market.
