About the Item

Hand-carved in France, circa 1880, this wooden bracket console features a wonderfully executed winged angel beneath an angular entablature. The innocent visage of the cherub is augmented by the downward gaze, as he supports an arched molding above his head. Both wings of the angel are displayed, flanked by linenfold curtains that hang down from the arched molding. The angel is depicted as a half body carving, with his upper body rising from a magnificently sculpted acanthus cup. Behind the angel is a highly shaped molding with beveled edges (most likely not original). The shelf has a quarter round rim over a four-tiered step molding, which reduces the linear nature of the entablature (also probably added more recently. Our carved angel has a lovely cream color and can be used in any room of the house as a functional wall bracket console. It would also make a fantastic decorative accessory.

Large 18th Century Wooden Carving of an Angel with Cherubs
Located in Dallas, TX
This endearing hand carved wooden statue depicts a large central angel, flanked by two winged cherubs. The grouping has been stripped recently, allowing the skill of the carver to be displayed in full. The removal of the original finish also gives additional character to the statue, as the centuries old repairs are now visible, as seen on the leg of the cherub to the angel’s left. The angel is touching the hand of one cherub and the top of the head of the other as though protecting them. They are standing upon a platform with stylized circular clouds swirling around them. The tall angel wears a robe with tassels draped over his shoulders and tied at his waist. The winged cherubs are shown as full figures, which was often seen in the 18th century, as well as during the Renaissance. In the Baroque period, they were often shown only as winged cherub heads. The piece is of Western European origin, possibly the Netherlands, Belgium, or Germany. At nearly 4 feet by 4 feet, this statue is of a particularly large size, especially considering it is a figural grouping. The back of the piece is a series of plain, horizontal boards...

Unusual 18th Century Venetian Center Piece in Carved Walnut Wood, Circa 1780
Located in Dallas, TX
Although the Rococo in France (where the style originated) lasted from roughly 1725 to 1760, other countries in Europe produced period art and furniture until the late 18th century. One such country was Italy and in particular, Venice, where this unusual carved walnut centerpiece was hand-carved, circa 1780. A large shell-form bowl with volute leaf embellishments is being held by three putti emerging from an undulating base. The wave pattern is reminiscent of a foaming sea, further indicated by the stylized dolphin tails emerging from the spray. All of the tails are textured with a lozenge-patterned background, protruding as high-relief elements. On the underside, the scalloped tips of the water swing down in three areas, forming well-disguised feet. The carvings of the centerpiece are quite exceptional, given the height and breadth of the piece. A wonderful decorative accessory for any large table, our walnut Venetian centerpiece...
