Pair of French Patinated Bronze Putti Heads On Sea Green Marble Plinths, C. 1700

About the Item

These French, patinated bronze putti heads surrounded by spiral fluting are mounted on geometrically shaped marble plinths. Dating to circa 1700, the rising busts feature a cherub with curly hair sweeping upwards and a knotted vestment around their necks. The angular marble has a sea-green hue with white, gold, and black veining. Our pair of putti heads on marble plinths would make wonderful decorative accessories for a console or side table or used as bookends on a mantle or shelf.
