Baroque Revival Pair of 1800s Hand Carved & Gilt Solid Oak Wall Cherubs / Putti

If you are looking for decorative and handmade antique wall-art to grace your living space then these hand carved and gilt wooden antique putti sculptures could be perfect. You may have seen pairs of antique carved angels before, but you hardly ever find them of this size and what makes this pair extra desirable is the fact that they have been entirely hand carved out of solid oak. With oak being much harder than the soft woods that Baroque putti almost always are made of, it not only makes these putti much stronger, heavier and durable, it also means that it was much more difficult to hand carve these antiques. With their stands and heads facing each other, they are a real pair and the quality of their body postures and physical details reveil that these are the work of a master carver. Have you also noticed how their arms are casually folded behind their backs? Looking at the style and the quality of these sculptures, we feel, they are either Flemish or French. The stunning patina of these gilt wooden, boy-cherubs makes them look 200 years older and that amazing natural wear cannot be duplicated. They may have been part of a church interior, we don’t know, but we ‘found’ them in a rectory that was about to get closed by the local government. No matter where you decide to have them on display these works of religious art will never fail to impress. As you can see in our images they even come with a pair of antique brass hooks in the backs via which they can easily and safely be wall-mounted.
