Description from the seller
This charming hand-painted cardboard sculpture of a cherubic angel, created in the second half of the 20th century, blends the devotional character of traditional imagery with a singular decorative function. Carved and modeled by hand, it presents a slender standing winged figure designed to hold or display small documents, sheet music, cards, menus, or messages through the open arrangement of its arms.
The sculpture shows a delicate angelic figure with slender proportions, dressed in a wide tunic with deep folds that falls gracefully to the base. The manual polychromy enhances the modeling of the piece through a harmonious blend of greens, reddish tones, and golds that add visual richness and emphasize the craftsmanlike nature of the work. The golden hair and the rear wings, treated in warm ocher and copper tones, create an appealing contrast with the colors of the robes.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this figure is the position of its arms, extended forward to allow the placement of papers or small decorative elements. This feature makes the sculpture a functional object as well as ornamental, evoking liturgical and decorative supports inspired by traditional religious models.
The surface preserves the characteristic texture of hand-worked cardboard, with small irregularities and nuances that lend authenticity and personality to the piece. The modeling of the folds, the wings, and the facial features shows a manual execution aimed at conveying the sensitivity and charm of contemporary popular imagery.
Decorative, expressive, and versatile, this angel figure is a highly appealing piece for classic, rustic, or eclectic interiors, adding a touch of spirituality, warmth, and traditional crafts. Its combination of practical function and decorative value makes it a singular object capable of standing out in domestic spaces as well as in religious settings or collections of folk art.
Certified shipping and careful packing.
