Beautiful metal statue of St Anthony of Padua with infant Jesus standing on the book and holding an orb. Jesus is touching Anthony's face with a hand.
The statue is screwed to a stone / marble base.
Early 20th century.
Some parts are painted gold but the colour has gone in places. It looks like the rest of the statue was in a different colour. 
The metal has darkened in places. There are also white marks and slight surface damage in some folds of Anthony's robe.
Some scratches and surface imperfections to the metal.
Marked in French 'St Antoine de Padoue' on the base. 
Marked with the initials AF at the back.
The base has some stains, large scratches and white discolouration in places.
The screw and bolt have rusted.
The base is not flat or smooth underneath as it seems to have been detached from a larger piece.
The statue moves if turned. This must have happened before as there are marks on the base around the statue.
This is a beautiful piece that is quite different from the St Anthony statues I usually find as Jesus is standing and touching his face.
Total height: 23 cm / 9.05 inches
Size of the stone base: 9 x 9 cm / 3.54 x 3.54 inches
Weighs just over 1 kilogram.
