Infant of Prague – “Peace to the World” | One-of-a-Kind Devotional Art Statue
By 2nd Hand Revival Art Studio
At 2nd Hand Revival Art Studio, our hope is that each piece brings comfort, reflection, and beauty into everyday life. Some collectors create devotional altars, others display a small votive candle nearby, add icons, or place fresh flowers around the artwork to create a peaceful space.
One of a Kind – Handmade Devotional Art
This restored and reimagined Infant of Prague devotional statue began as a vintage chalkware/plaster figure that had experienced years of age, wear, discoloration, paint loss, surface dents, and a damaged right hand.
Rather than restoring it to factory perfection, we chose to revive it artistically while honoring its history.
At 2nd Hand Revival Art Studio, we believe imperfections tell a story. Each rescued religious statue is thoughtfully transformed into a unique devotional artwork with hand-painted details and carefully selected embellishments.
This statue arrived with very little original paint remaining. We carefully repainted the piece in warm cream and gold tones, with a rich true red cape, inspired by traditional mid-century religious statuary colors. The face was softly painted to reflect the gentle coloring often seen in original 1940s devotional pieces.

• Vintage solid chalkware / plaster construction
• No visible original maker’s marks
