<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Irenka, post: 4583225, member: 18829&quot;]Hello everyone!</p><p>I have a really interesting statue, with an even more interesting story..</p><p>Few days ago I got a call from an older lady. She told me, that she had a statue, that she dont want anymore. Because of her mother passing, she rented out her apartment. She did not want the statue to remain in the apartment. She went to several antique dealers near her, but no one wanted to take the statue. It seems to me that no one even knew what it was about, or that the lady didn&#039;t even show them the pictures, only described what it was about. She called me all desperate, if maybe we would take it, to give it to us for free just so it doesn&#039;t go in the trash. Apparently, the lady is not too sentimental because the statue belonged to her grandfather, who was an architect and was said to have brought it when he was working somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>After the call, I was a little skeptical as to whether it was even worth going to see the statue, mainly because she said that no one wanted him. But curiosity got the better of me..and i am glad that it did. Even glader that no one wanted him! What a shame for those guys to miss the opurtunity and what kind of luck that we got it!</p><p><br /></p><p>The statue is supposed to represent Saint Andrew and i think that this is the oldest thing that we owen. But i dont know so i really need your thoughts on this one.. If this was her grandfather statue it must be at least 200hundred years old ? Or not.. i really cant guess and i even dont know where to look to find any similar one...</p><p><br /></p><p>The statue is missing some parts obviusly, but i think that it would be pittful to repair it, just leave it the way it is... what do you all think ? Some repair or nothing just some dusting ? ..and why do you think no one wanted it ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Statue is wooden, 60cm in height...</p><p><br /></p><p>I am really curios what do you all think of it, if i discover that it isnt old or valuable i wont be upset <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> because we got it some what free..ok we did gave the lady some eurous but she was just glad that someone wanted it and that it found the new home where it will be appreciate like it was appreciate by her grandfather.. and in my eyes the statue is really glourious and beautiful, i think that it was put a lot of effort and time in it and i really appreciate the hand who made it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still cant belive what a coincidence and luck in the same time...</p><p><br /></p><p>I am really looking to all of your thoughts on this one...</p><p><br /></p><p>Sory for the long post and broken english <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> and thanks to anyone who will found time for me and saint Andrew <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]407430[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]407431[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]407432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]407433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]407434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]407435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]407436[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]407437[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
