About the Item

Pair of 19th century Italian hand-carved and gilded angel wings on calcite crystal points in matrix. The pair hand-carved gilded and gilded angel wings are originally from a historical church in Italy. The yellow and grey calcite crystal cluster in matrix are rare formations and they replicate the color of the angel wings. The geometric shapes also complement the form of the pair of angelic artifacts. The pair was collected and transformed by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the pieces and the period shows that the Italian angel wings are originally 19th century. The Italian angel wings have been transformed mounted on the rare organic 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 and mounted with the natural specimens to create a sculptural and figurative pair of organic and old.
