Wooden Baroque-style Cherub – Hand-Carved – Europe, 19th Century
Dimensions: approx. 42 cm high
Material: solid wood (likely walnut or fruitwood)
Condition: good antique condition with age-related wear
Beautiful hand-carved wooden sculpture depicting a Baroque cherub/putto holding a decorative cornucopia. The figure stands in an elegant contrapposto pose with finely carved drapery and expressive facial features.
• Carved from a single block of wood (base is separately attached).
• Rich warm patina and visible tool marks showing traditional craftsmanship.
• The cornucopia was likely originally intended as a candle holder or architectural ornament (altar, niche, or furniture mount).
• Age-consistent cracks, small losses, and wear, all contributing to its authentic antique character.
• Underside shows old mounting hole and natural shrinkage typical of 19th-century wood.
A charming decorative sculpture typical of Central European Baroque revival work, suitable for collectors of devotional art, architectural antiques, or period interior décor.
