Pair of 17th Century Italian Baroque Giltwood Putti Figures
About the Item
Magnificent and enormous pair of 17th century Italian Baroque period carved giltwood putti wall figures. The pair maintained its original gilding and condition. The carver was successful in catching the putti in mid-flight movement. The carver portrayed very pleasing and appealing features on these putti's faces, contrary to the exaggerated style of the Baroque period.
This beautiful and finely carved pair of putti, otherwise known as cherubs, was likely used to decorate a church or sacred space. Putti are usually depicted naked but these are partially covered in flowing garments. They are the symbol of love and became common during the Italian Renaissance.
This pair is especially unique due to large size.

- Pair of 17th Century Carved Oak Seahorse Carvings from EnglandLocated in Dallas, TXOriginally part of a larger architectural, this pair of oak seahorse carvings depict two different figural groupings. Hand-carved in England during the 1600’s, the wood has been stripped, leaving slight traces of the original finish in some areas. Both carvings feature a winged angel riding a seahorse, with clusters of roundels emanating from the animals’ tails. Our seahorses have radically different features, with one having the head and torso of a horse and a scaled tail that terminates in a foliate rinceau. The angel perched atop this mythical beast is blowing a horn. Small roundels emit from the end of the horse’s leafy tail as the pair travels from left to right. Facing in the opposite direction, the second seahorse has a less equine visage with scales covering the entire body. Its tail is oriented as a volute scroll with large roundels spilling out of the terminal end. The angel riding has grasped the animal’s mane, using it in lieu of reins. Our pair of oak seahorse carvings are fascinating remnants of a larger 17th century installation. Based on the filled mortises at the bottom (see detailed photos), these carvings most likely sat on the top of a piece representing a mythological or religious story. Today they would make fantastic wall-mounted sculptures. They could also be displayed on stands...Category
