1750 Italy Pair of Carved and Engraved Giltwood Male Figures Sculptures

About the Item

This is an extraordinary pair of warriors sculpted and engraved in gilted wood. These pieces hail from the Mid-18th Century, by a Master cabinetmaker from Lucca, Tuscany, that showcases his exquisite craftsmanships through meticulously carved details of the garments. The sculptures are both signed on the bases "F.B. 1750". These refined sculptures have a flat base on the head, that allow to put on decorative objects or vases. The predilection for the exotic, which always played a preponderant role in Venetian artistic history, finds striking confirmation in the proliferation of these figures which make their appearance as polychrome furnishing elements already in the inventories of the 17th-Century. The 18th- Century decreed the triumph of these powerful figures sculpted in the round, variously used as torch holders, tray holders or vase holders. The Venetian style, spread all over the Europe and of course also in Italy and this magnificent pair of sculptures was created in Tuscany. The pieces are in very good state of maintenance and they are guaranteed original in every parts. The surface was only cleaned not restored and it is original. The pair of giltwood and carved sculptures has the Certificate of Authenticity. The documents will be shown on demand in case of interest.
