Cherub Carved from Wood with Polychrome & Gilt

pkversion — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 12:34:02 +0000

An Italian cherub, carved from linden wood wood. This graceful and exceptionally well-carved figure was likely part of an altar ensemble. The eyes and face are particularly well-formed and have a subtly plaintive expression. The wings are covered in actual gold gilt and the body in a gauche of natural mineral pigments. There is a real sense of movement in this piece, which we believe dates to the Baroque period.

Tazza; Italy, early 20th century.

pkversion — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 12:23:51 +0000

This type of work has been common since classical antiquity. Normally these pieces were made of glass or metal, so that those made of hard stones, as in this particular case, corresponded to the highest artistic quality trousseaus. Aesthetically the work combines the sobriety of the classic form with an expressive veining characteristic of the material.

Norwegian Baroque Box, Carved Mythical Creatures + Figurative Scenes, Circa 1740

pkversion — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 12:19:25 +0000

Very special Baroque box with carved decorations of mythical creatures and figurative scenes
Carved monogrammed initials “HPP” + Family Crest, origin: Gudbrandsdal, Norway, circa 1740

Very similar carving to the travel box from Gudbrandsdal, dated to 1700, Kunstindustrimuseet, Oslo

The years between 1740 and 1780 are the greatest significance in Gudbrandsdal carving for it was during this time that the renowned døleskurd was developed. By 1700 the vine becomes thick and ribbon-like with simple, slightly curled leaved intertwining in medieval fashion. The leaves are more and more scrolled, more like the acanthus, culminating in the rich baroque type of carving, the døleskurd. Gudbrandsdal was a well-to-do district, homes large and well-furnished. Even the smaller objects, things such as the mangletrœr and œsker were often decorated with lavish carving characteristics of the district.
