A Cherished Masterpiece: Victorian Medallion with putti by the Wyon Family
About the Item
Discover a work of rare elegance, now available on our site: a finely sculpted marble medallion from the renowned Wyon family, celebrated for their contributions to the art of medal-making and engraving.
Dating from circa 1850, this medallion depicts two cherubic musicians, embodying the delicacy and refinement of the Victorian era. One plays the zither while the other accompanies on a tambourine, both exquisitely detailed from their wings to the curls of their hair.
This masterpiece is set in a luxurious gilded wooden Rocaille-style frame, richly adorned with shells, scrolls, and acanthus leaf motifs. The frame, with its radiant gold finish and finely sculpted details, enhances the beauty of the artwork, making it a true luxury piece, ideal for prestigious collections.
Although this medallion is attributed to the Wyon family workshop, the discreet signature “SWW 49” engraved at the foot of the two cherubs indicates it was created by another talented member of this illustrious family, further confirming its authenticity and connection to a distinguished artistic tradition. A small bronze engraving on the back of the piece also attests to its provenance and exceptional quality.
This medallion is not only a tribute to Victorian sculpture but also a luxurious collectible, steeped in the artistic heritage of the Wyon family.
Don’t miss the opportunity to acquire this unique piece, a gem that will bring a touch of refinement and history to your collection. Visit our site now to discover this treasure and complete your purchase.
Timeless luxury signed by a member of the prestigious Wyon family awaits you.
