Large 30cm Hand-Carved & Gilded Wood Sculpture - Two Guardian Angels - Val Gardena Style Description Size & Presence: The most striking feature of this sculpture is its impressive 30cm (12-inch) height. Unlike common small-scale figurines, this large-format carving serves as a significant statement piece. The substantial size allows for a much higher level of detail in the flowing robes and the intricate feathers of the wings. Artistic Style: Crafted in the renowned Tyrolean Baroque style of Val Gardena, Italy. This tradition is famous for its "soft" naturalistic carving, particularly seen in the serene facial expressions and delicate hands of both the standing and kneeling angels. Premium Materials & Finish: • Authentic Wood: Entirely hand-carved from premium Alpine Maple wood. • Polychrome: The piece is hand-painted with vibrant pigments. The wings catches the light beautifully at this 30cm scale. • Detailed Robes: Note the intricate fleur-de-lis patterns hand-painted onto the garments, a hallmark of high-end Italian workshops. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. For a piece of this size, the preservation of the paint and the delicate extremities (fingers, wing tips) is remarkable. The original protective felt is still present on the base. • Tracked shipping from Greece
