I wouldn't call it antique. I think it's a choice, they knew why they are using it and most likely they were comfortable with it.
What a surprise, you picked the sculpture. The hand is indeed impressive, you'd say it's a real hand :)

Painting looks very different when you choose a canvas texture like this, I like it!
How difficult it is to make a hand! I've never done sculpture but I have done drawing and painting.
It depends on your skills. Who comes into my mind is Rodin, who was a master of sculpting human body, in the most realistic way, but he was too early and society didn't appreciate his talent, nor his realistic creations.
In sculpture I love realism and this sculptor is excellent. It is true that many times the artist's skills and style are not appreciated at the time... it comes much later that recognition.
