Red Hematoid Quartz Heart with an 18th Century Italian Angel and a Baroque Pearl

About the Item

Sculptural 'Sacred Heart' - 18th century Italian gilded angel mounted on a polished red hematoid quartz heart and adorned with a natural-forming baroque pearl. The piece is inspired by "The Sacred Heart" in Catholic art history which symbolizes God's unconditional love for mankind. Hematoid Quartz is a quartz crystal that contains Hematite inclusions. It is polished and sculpted into a heart and adorned with the Italian gilt putto and baroque pearl. 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 Italian putto is originally 18th century. Together, the elements create a historically significant, figurative work of old and new.
