Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Cherubim-Angelots, symbolic beings of love (mythological or divine), were sown by Baroque sculptors on the pediments of both gallant and religious furniture. All the more so as, with the infant mortality rate of the time, every adult had in his or her heart a memory of a child who had died too soon. For this one, we think rather of tender love.... the elm wood with its carnal veins (but which splits) magnifies the epidermis, the quality of the sculptor is impressive.
French Baroque, well carved, circa 1700,
Dimensions = approx. Height: 19cm, 16cm, weight: 900g
Good overall condition, but cracks in the wood, and a small old pickup at the tip of the nose.
