About the Item
A matched pair of 19th Century Italian alters love Angels
A stunning pair of hand carved Italian 19th Century angels of love (as they face each other holding their hearts). These artefacts would have been mounted either side of a large alter archway of sorts. With similar examples attributed to artists like Johann Peters Schwanthaler. They are characterized by their carved, gesso and polychrome painted, gilded surfaces, typical of the baroque style. The detail carving of the faces, wings and drapery indicates skilled craftsmanship.
Dimensions in inches: H 30” x W 21” x D 12”
Age: mid 19th Century
Origin: Italy
Condition: Aged
In overall very presentable good solid condition, elements of painted surface is missing due to age, one of the angels has a large toe missing as shown. There are no structural cracks in the wooden detail such as one of the hands across the angel’s chest as shown in the close up photos. The bottom of the figures still have supporting holes as this is likely where they would have been joined to a large archway setting. All original in condition and untouched without over painting.
The figures do not come with the supporting metal stands as these were used for photographic purposes only.
