Long Description
Two antique religious statues. They belonged to my grandmother; very old.Â
Â
St Anthony with Jesus is made in France and the marking "P P DeRosa" is on back. The name St Joseph at feet.
Â
The other one is Jesus falling with cross and a cup for holy water or candle. I cannot find any markings on this one.
Â
Both have a bit of paint coming off. St Joseph is in better condition than the Jesus Statute.
Â
could you appraise them? Thank you.
History
My grandmother had these statues and she has many more. They were there when I was born, so I am guessing they are about 75 to 100 yrs old.
