Description from the seller
Beautiful, mirrored pair of antique/vintage wall sculptures featuring angel heads (cherubs / putti). This decorative duo is entirely hand-carved from high-quality wood (presumably limewood) and finished with a warm, dark wax/stain that beautifully accentuates the deep grain and details.
This is a so-called “mirrored” pair: one little angel subtly looks to the left, the other to the right. The carving is executed in very deep high relief (as much as 6 cm deep), creating a wonderful three-dimensional effect in the curls and wings. A testament to true craftsmanship, highly characteristic of the renowned woodcarving tradition of the Alpine region (such as Val Gardena or Oberammergau).
Specifications:
• Material: Hand-carved wood
• Quantity: 2 pieces (a pair)
• Dimensions per piece: approx. 10 cm high x 10 cm wide x 6 cm deep
Packaging: These delicate wooden sculptures will be packed with the utmost care and double protection (generously wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a sturdy box) to prevent damage to the fragile wing tips during transit.Shipping: Fast, insured shipping via reliable postal services (such as PostNL or DHL).Track & Trace: Fully trackable. The tracking code will be shared with you promptly after dispatch.
• Period: Mid-20th century (or earlier)
• Origin: Europe (Alpine region / Germany / Italy)
• Condition: In very nice, original vintage condition with a beautiful patina. Please see the photos for an accurate impression.
