About the Item

Pair of 18th century Italian hand-carved gold leaf angels mounted on amethyst and calcite in matrix. The hand-carved angels were once part of a heavenly, angelic depiction in a historic church in Tuscany. The angels are placed onto the amethyst and calcite in matrix which is a very rare mineral combination and formation. It is also very large and weighs approximately 34 lbs or 15.5 kg. The calcite formation coordinates with the gesso underlay of the angels. The pair of angels are holding heart-shaped baroque pearls. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the pair of Italian angels are originally 18th century. The Rococo angels have been put together with the rare mineral formation to create a historically and organically significant work of art.
