19th C. French Hand-Carved Wood Cherub Figures, Beautiful Decorative Objects

About the Item

A French pair of carved-wood cherub figures from the 19th century. This antique pair of wooden figurines from France have been hand-carved to depict a male child (or putto) with loosely-curled locks and chubby cheeks, fitted in robed attire, in bent knee position with one hand by waist and the other hand raised. The statues are on connected bases and though they have more flattened backsides, the carvings do continue, so that if necessary, they can be floated within a room, viewed from all angles. Please note that the wood has some losses at front top of one base, some old repairs, and later paint (see additional images for more information on condition). This pair of French putti figures from the 19th century would look beautiful displayed on a console table, fireplace mantel, or perhaps as a centerpiece on a large dining room table.

  • A Set of Black Americana Baseball Memorabilia Folk Art Figures, Circa 1930s-40s
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    This collection of three Black Americana baseball figures, circa 1930s-1940s, are attributed to the San Antonio folk artist, Control Valadez. The set of Black memorabilia, sometimes called Black Americana, includes a pitcher, catcher & batter, each having been set and raised onto a custom iron base. They are all quite chippy with losses, nice patina and showing of age, still retaining much of their original paint colors. Likely once outdoor ornaments, we would suggest, due to their delicate condition, that these pieces remain indoors. Though historically, much black memorabilia portrayed racist and offensive ideas, there was also art, such as this collection, which reflects a more positive connotation, commemorating athletic achievements within the black community. These nicely sized baseball sculptures...
