Couple of torchero angels. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish school, 17th c.

About the Item

Couple of torchero angels. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish school, 17th century. They have faults. Pair of human-shaped carvings made of polychrome wood that show two angels raising one arm each and situated on clouds with winged heads, following common models since the Renaissance. Known as lamp angels or thuriferaries, they were carvings that were usually placed on important altars to hold lamps or censers, being identified with angels or archangels. Compare, for example, with the lamp-making angels of the Ermita de la Soledad in Cantillana (Seville, Spain) made between 1780 and 1799 to see, more or less, the function of these sculptures. But we must remember that, stylistically, they belong to the Spanish school Baroque (material, movement, etc.). · Size: 32x16x71 cms International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
