About the Item
This hand carved seated cherub is of a nice size at nearly 23 inches tall. The cherub is holding a piece of draped cloth in front of its chest and still has both wings intact. The sculptor who carved this cherub was very good at the figural proportions of the human body. It recently came from a home in the beautiful Puy-En-Velay commune in the haute Loire department of South Central France. The area is known for its magnificent cathedrals and statuary. Perfect for anyplace in the home, this beautiful carved wooden cherub will be the focal point of the room.

View AllLarge 18th Century Wooden Carving of an Angel with Cherubs
Located in Dallas, TX
This endearing hand carved wooden statue depicts a large central angel, flanked by two winged cherubs. The grouping has been stripped recently, allowing the skill of the carver to be displayed in full. The removal of the original finish also gives additional character to the statue, as the centuries old repairs are now visible, as seen on the leg of the cherub to the angel’s left.
The angel is touching the hand of one cherub and the top of the head of the other as though protecting them. They are standing upon a platform with stylized circular clouds swirling around them. The tall angel wears a robe with tassels draped over his shoulders and tied at his waist. The winged cherubs are shown as full figures, which was often seen in the 18th century, as well as during the Renaissance. In the Baroque period, they were often shown only as winged cherub heads. The piece is of Western European origin, possibly the Netherlands, Belgium, or Germany.
At nearly 4 feet by 4 feet, this statue is of a particularly large size, especially considering it is a figural grouping. The back of the piece is a series of plain, horizontal boards...
