Statue, Set van 2 oude wandsculpturen (Putti / Engelen) - 14 cm - Wood

Beautiful and charming pair of vintage Baroque wall angels (putti) playing musical instruments (including a transverse flute). This set has been expertly hand-carved from high-quality wood, in the renowned woodcarving tradition of the Alpine region.
The figures have exceptionally beautiful three-dimensional depth (5 cm), making them stand out beautifully from the wall when hung. The little angels feature the traditional gesso ground layer and are polychrome-painted. The drapery and details are finely finished with gold-leaf accents.
On the reverse are the original old metal pins/hooks, which were used to mount the figures securely at the time and allow them to be easily attached to the wall. The woodwork displays a beautiful, authentic network of fine shrinkage cracks (craquelure) in the paintwork, giving the figures a vivid, characterful antique appearance. No major damage or missing parts.
