19th century.

This statuette is a reduction of the famous bronze effigy of the apostle at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, long attributed to Arnolfo di Cambio (1245-1302 / 10). The Roman work, with its throne, was often reproduced by the makers of religious statuary in the second half of the 19th century.
