Exclusive Collection Apostle Thomas

Holy splendor on white gold: the apostle figurine. An impressive work of sculptural art from the MEISSEN^® Exclusive Collection.They stand immovably in the niches of the nave of the Roman Lateran Basilica: the larger-than-life marble sculptures of the twelve apostles from Peter to Paul. The Saxon Elector Frederick Augustus II came up with a wonderful gift idea: his mother-in-law, the Habsburg Dowager Empress Amalie, was to be able to admire these masterpieces of sculpture exclusively in her Viennese chambers as porcelain figurines, sculpture by sculpture. Johann Joachim Kaendler then created the famous series of apostles for the MEISSEN^® manufactory between 1737 and 1740. While many of his works are hand-painted in dazzling colors, this work of art dispenses with accents. The apostles were sent to proclaim the message of Jesus and are therefore an inseparable part of Christmas. Whether colorfully hand-painted or bright white - the figure of Thomas the Apostle is an eye-catcher. You too can secure an exclusive work of art like this for yourself.
