TITLE: Retablo (tabla) San Pedro and San Jose with
the Christ child
MATERIAL: oil on wood APPROXIMATE SIZE: 8 1/4 X 10 1/2 inches ESTIMATED AGE: 100 years old CONDITION: good PRE-AUCTION PRICE: $ 500 dollars SHIPPING: -- free shipping -- ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: These wooden tablas with the images of multiple saints were found mostly in the Mexican state of Queretaro. When they are made of this wood, which I believe is sabino, there is no problem with rust and they have an excellent resistance to insect damage. |

TITLE: Retablo (tabla) San Juan Bautista and the
Virgen de Candelaria holding the Christ Child.
There are also two ánimas at the ground level. MATERIAL: oil on wood APPROXIMATE SIZE: 8 X 10 1/2 inches ESTIMATED AGE: 100 years old CONDITION: very good PRE-AUCTION PRICE: $ 650 dollars SHIPPING: $ 40 dollars ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This is an example of an excellently preserved painting on a tabla made of sabino wood. This type wood is highly resistant to insect damage and is not plagued by the rust damage of tin retablos. At the feet of the Saint and the Virgin are two ánimas, these being souls in purgatory. This type retablo was dedicated to help speed the souls out of purgatory into heaven. This retablo was found in the Mexican state of Queretaro. This is a rare and beautiful example of retablo art. |

TITLE: Retablo (tabla) La Purísima Concepción
y San Nicolás Tolentino
MATERIAL: oil on wood APPROXIMATE SIZE: 7 1/2 X 11 inches ESTIMATED AGE: 100 years CONDITION: good -- in the enlargement of the first image you can barely detect someone's minimal attempt at restoring a small spot at the very lowest portion on the right side of the Virgen's blue robe. Looking directly across, right above her left foot there is an atempted restoration of the bottom part of the red robe and and also the bottom part of the blue robe. going directly across to the right, there are a couple more dime-size touch up, and the final at the right extreme bottom of San Nicolás' robe. You have to look hard to see these with the naked eye. Both images are labeled at the bottom. You can see in the enlargement that some letters are missing. PRE-AUCTION PRICE: $ 950 dollars SHIPPING: $ 40 dollars ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This beautifully painted wooden retablo includes one image that is not easy to find. That is the image of him holding a plate with two birds. The story goes that someone served up to him a plate of well cooked quail. They looked so pathetic to him that he performed the miracle of restoring them to life -- as cheerfully seen on the plate. Some may realize that San Nicolás Tolentino is depicted in another theme, but this is the depiction that I like best. |
