Baroque Revival Pair of 1800s Hand Carved & Gilt Solid Oak Wall Cherubs / Putti

About the Item

Beautifully aged, Baroque Revival putti sculptures for wall mounting. If you are looking for decorative and handmade antique wall-art to grace your living space then these hand carved and gilt wooden antique putti sculptures could be perfect. You may have seen pairs of antique carved angels before, but you hardly ever find them of this size and what makes this pair extra desirable is the fact that they have been entirely hand carved out of solid oak. With oak being much harder than the soft woods that Baroque putti almost always are made of, it not only makes these putti much stronger, heavier and durable, it also means that it was much more difficult to hand carve these antiques. With their stands and heads facing each other, they are a real pair and the quality of their body postures and physical details reveil that these are the work of a master carver. Have you also noticed how their arms are casually folded behind their backs? Looking at the style and the quality of these sculptures, we feel, they are either Flemish or French. The stunning patina of these gilt wooden, boy-cherubs makes them look 200 years older and that amazing natural wear cannot be duplicated. They may have been part of a church interior, we don't know, but we 'found' them in a rectory that was about to get closed by the local government. No matter where you decide to have them on display these works of religious art will never fail to impress. As you can see in our images they even come with a pair of antique brass hooks in the backs via which they can easily and safely be wall-mounted. If you like the amazing workmanship and patina of this antique and rare, solid oak pair of putti sculptures as much as we then you will love our price. Also, because perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are included in our fair price. Maximum width x height x depth per angel: 29.5 x 7.1 x 5.9 inches. Weight: circa 15 pounds each.

  • Baroque Style Hand Carved Wooden Crucifix with Stunning Bronze Corpus of Christ
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Crucifix from the mid-1800s with a carved shroud or veil depicting Christ in the base. This unique and remarkable antique crucifix can both be used as a table and as a wall crucifix. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and very well crafted crucifixes, but never one in the Baroque style with this combination of materials and techniques. The overall design and size is what stands out first, but the details and the materials are what make this antique work of religious art extraordinary. With four angels (or putti) watching over a sculpture of the Veil of Veronica, the relatively large base of this unique crucifix is a work of religious art in its own right. It is almost as if the cross is growing from this beautiful base and the cross itself too comes with a number of superbly hand carved details. To us, the most remarkable are the three stunning Baroque shells. With their symbolic meaning of birth and resurrection it is obvious why the artist / sculptor so tastefully incorporated them here. Apart from a minor 'lean' to the left, the cross itself too is in excellent condition. If one were to speak of a trinity in this crucifix then the unique base and cross are completed with an equally striking, solid bronze corpus of Christ...
