Very decorative French Giltwood architectural element
hand carved and gilded Winged Cherub. Beautiful Evocative sculpture
Dating from 18th century
Perfect for antique or contemporary interior design
This sculpture is over 200 years old is in hauntingly beautifully distressed antique condition
with general wear, and losses to gesso gilding
which in my opinion adds to the lovely time worn gently faded grandeur that can only be achieved with
centuries of use
SIZE 11 inches wide x 4 inches High (28cm x 10cm)
PLEASE NOTE
The polychrome / gilded gesso finishes on ancient carvings become
somewhat dry and brittle over the centuries , this is what gives the beautiful distressed / time worn effect we all love
As a result occasionally during shipping and further handling pieces of surface gesso will become detached
This is quite normal and if preferred usually just require fixing back into place with adhesive
This advice is given should this not be acceptable to you
