A truly magnificent and wonderful large hand-carved Italian Baroque wood church angel from the 18th Century. This work, which at one point was likely polychrome and painted, features a finely carved kneeling angel gazing at and reaching for the heavens above him. The angel has a beautiful youthful expression and a gorgeous patina acquired with age.
Provenance:
Property from a Private Collector, Venice, Italy.
One of the better angel sculptures we have come across. Would be a great addition to any collection and/or clearly stand out in any setting as an eye-catching stand-alone accent work. Quite unique and engaging overall.
Dimensions: 22.5″ High, 35″ wide, 16″ deep.
