A Wide 17th Century Winged Angel in Carved Walnut Wood from France

About the Item

At over four feet wide, this winged angel carving has an impressive span. Hand-carved in walnut in France during the 1600’s, the sculpture depicts the innocent face of an angel with wings extended to the sides. The woodworker had an amazing eye for detail, carving segmented wing feathers, thick hair, and a smiling visage for the angel. A beautiful and rich patina has developed on the centuries old walnut wood, accentuated by waxing/buffing of the piece. Eyelets have been installed along the back for hanging purposes, allowing our 17th century winged angel to be prominently displayed on any wall.

Period Gothic Oak Trunk or Chest Façade from Picardie France, circa 1550
Located in Dallas, TX
Often when centuries-old trunks did not survive the passage of time, 19th-century menuisiers (French woodworkers) would salvage the surviving wood and carve new furniture such as desks and similar trunks. The facade was typically the most ornate section of these antique trunks, making intact frontages highly valued antiques. Hand-carved from oak in Picardie, France, circa 1550, this period Gothic architectural is a beautiful example of an antique trunk facade that was not incorporated into a more recent furnishing. Picardie is a former administrative region in northern France that is home to many Gothic cathedrals. The Amiens Cathedral (mid-13th century) is the largest standing cathedral in Europe and is truly a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Our trunk frontage has five vertically oriented inset panels embellished with various forms of Gothic tracery, including high-arching niches...
