19th C. Giltwood Cherub Fragment

About the Item

A beautifully detailed 19th century Italian giltwood architectural fragment featuring a seated cherub atop an ornate classical base. The finely carved putto is depicted with one arm raised in a playful gesture, perched on a pedestal adorned with a central scallop shell and scrolling acanthus motifs. The piece is flanked by elegant scrollwork extending horizontally, all finished in rich, original gold leaf with a soft, timeworn patina. Likely once part of a larger ecclesiastical or palatial interior element, this fragment now serves as a striking wall-mounted sculpture or decorative accent with Old World charm and artistry.
