Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Archive of c.180 designs, mainly of woodcarvings for Roman Catholic churches. Most of the original designs are accompanied by blueprints or photocopies enlarged to full size. A full list of designs is available on request. Siegfried Pietzsch, of Redbourn, Hertfordshire described himself as 'Designer Craftsman - Sculptures in Wood, Stone and Fibreglass, Carved Lettering in Wood and Stone, Illuminated Lettering, Mosaics, Vitreous Enamels, Gilding'. This is a craftsman's archive of designs, primarily for Roman Catholic churches and schools in East Anglia, Essex, the Midlands, London & Wales, but with occasional commissions from abroad - including Germany, the USA and Australia. There is little evidence here of fibreglass, mosaics or vitreous enamels (presumably more recent additions to Pietzsch's accomplishments) and most of his designs are for wooden statuary in lime, teak or oak, together with other church accoutrements such as fonts, memorial plaques, altars, and lecterns. Pietzsch was born at Stollberg in the Erzgebierge region of Germany which has a strong tradition of woodcarving. During the Second World War he was a prisoner-of-war held in the USA and later Wales, and released in 1947. Wishing to stay in Britain, his penance was to undertake four years of agricultural work but his carvings for St. Katherine's church, Milford Haven, were noticed by the Faith-Craft workshop in St Albans; Pietzsch moved there from 1952 until the workshop's closure in 1969. All the records and most of the original drawings were destroyed when the company was finally wound up in 1972. Pietzsch continued as a self-employed craftsman until his death in 2015; he did rather better than his previous employer in retaining a record of his work, which is offered here. The designs here are rarely dated, but it is safe to assume that they are after 1969 when Pietzsch began to execute commissions on his own account. His work shows a close understanding of Catholic iconography and is firmly traditional, providing statuary and other artefacts easily incorporated into Roman Catholic churches; as testimony to this, when the figure of St Michael was stolen from a Bedfordshire church in 1970, it was Pietzsch who quoted to make the replacement.
