St Margaret of Antioch antique large polychrome chalkware statue.
She is holding a martyr's palm in one hand. A small dragon is at her feet.
She is wearing a crown of flowers.
I had never found a statue of her before. It is a rare find!

She managed to escape after being swallowed by a dragon.
She is a patron Saint for expectant mothers especially when there is a difficult labour.
St Margaret was one of the saints that spoke to St Joan of Arc.

The paint is flaking in places as seen in the photographs.
The colours have faded with time and they are not even. It was probably in a church or chapel and has been covered with a lot of dust. I have dusted the statue but the paint is very delicate so it has to be done very gently. The statue was not varnished so the paint and plaster leave a thin residue on the fingers when touched. Some dust still visible in places.
the palm is silver coloured. The paint is gone in parts.

Small chips and the nose has been broken.

Her name is not visible anymore at the bottom (I can only guess the GUER from Marguerite). the paint is almost completely gone from the base (and from the dragon).
First half of the 20th century.

A fantastic and rare piece that will need a bit of careful care!
Height: approx. 62 cm / 24.40 inches
Base: 15.7 x 14 cm / 5.9 x 5.51 inches
