Pair of 18th Century Italian Angel Wings on Iridescent Titanium Quartz Crystals

About the Item

Pair of 18th century Italian hand-carved and painted angel wings on titanium plated quartz crystal clusters with natural-forming baroque pearls. The hand-carved multi-colored angel wings are originally from a historical church in Venice, Italy. These are particularly rare and exquisite due to their unique coloring. The ecclesiastical artifacts are mounted onto a base of titanium plated quartz and adorned with coordinating baroque pearls. The minerals display a beautiful array of iridescent colors. The pair was put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the pieces and the period shows that the Italian angel wings are originally 18th century. The Italian angel wings have been transformed with the iridescent elements to create sculptural works of old and new - creating a pair that appears to have evolved together over time. Through the preservation of the ecclesiastical artifacts, they still carry historical prominence while being transformed into a contemporary, sculptural pair of old and new.
