St Andrew – Hand-Carved Wooden Statue from South Tyrol

This wooden statue of St Andrew shows the apostle barefoot, his arm resting on a cross beam. It is hand-carved in Val Gardena, a piece for church, home altar or gift table.

Andrew was the brother of Simon Peter and, like him, a fisherman and one of the first disciples of Jesus. According to tradition he died around the year 60 in Patras on a diagonal cross. He is patron saint of Russia, Scotland, Romania and Greece, as well as of fishermen and miners. His feast day is 30 November; the diagonal St Andrew’s cross has been known as his attribute since the 14th or 15th century.

• Sizes: Andrew is available in 12, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 cm
• To choose from: Andrew: natural (finely sanded, untreated wood); multicolour stained (in three stain tones with wax, with gold or silver accents depending on the motif); hand-painted (oil colours, gold leaf and silver leaf details, fixed with varnish at the end); antique genuine gold leaf (finely cracked craquelé surface, gilded and painted with genuine gold leaf – the impression of an old original)
• Material: Andrew: wood from the Val Gardena valley, mainly lime wood, depending on size also maple or Swiss stone pine

On St Andrew’s Day, 30 November, the statue can be given as a name-day gift, especially to an Andrew. Made by hand in Val Gardena, the Andrew statue is never quite like any other piece, because the wood and painting differ.

It takes approx. 3–4 weeks until the Andrew statue stands in your home. Shipping for the Andrew statue is €6.90, insured directly from the workshop in South Tyrol and to Germany and Austria only. The 14-day statutory right of withdrawal applies to the Andrew statue.
