I have a carved marble jesus figure which is over 100 years

Hi, this is Mark with JA. I’ve been in the antiques and art business for nearly half a century. I think I can help with the carved statue. Can you send some photos? An overall shot, a close-up well-focused detail or two, one of the back or underside, and a good, clear shot of the maker’s marks or signatures, if any?

Also, please include dimensions of the statue.

Photos should be attached to this thread. Here’s some help with sending files. Look for any of these links, depending on the device and browser you are using (see attachment). If that doesn’t work, try this link for more help: https://www.justanswer.com/help/how-do-i-send-photo-or-file-expert. If all else fails, try calling Customer Service at(###) ###-#### and they should be able to help. Also, if you’re using a smartphone, JustAnswer has a free phone app.

Got the photos.  Thanks.

Wednesday morning and I’m just getting started. I have some questions ahead of you, but I promise I won’t lose you, OK?

Also how tall is the statue?  Anything else you can tell me about how / where / when you acquired it?

Back on it.  Sorry for the wait.  Checking now....

I studied the image as closely as possible.  My feeling is that it is probably of French or Spanish origin, possible 19th century or so.  Resale value £800-£1000.

But I have to admit there is a possibility I could be wrong and it could be older than that.  Sometimes it is very difficult to judge the age of stone works in this Internet format.  But here's a way that you might get some further confirmation for free:

Contact the "big three" auction companies. www.christies.com , www.bonhams.com and www.sothebys.com .  You can  request an evaluation from any of them via their website and their evaluation submission form by email.  Chances are if your item isn't worth £5000 or more, they won't be interested and may not even bother to return your email.  That would tend to confirm my evaluation.  If you do hear back from them and if they are interested, then you might have a good shot at a bigger value.
