Item Description
An exceptional early Italian carved and gilded Angel, probably Southern Italy, circa 1640–1670.
Beautifully carved in wood and entirely water-gilded over red bole, this figure retains its original, softly burnished gold with a gentle, time-worn patina. Made for a tabernacle or private altar, the Angel’s scale and quality suggest a work commissioned for an intimate devotional setting.
The carving is crisp and assured, with deep folds of drapery and a calm, focused expression typical of the High Baroque period. The original gilding catches the light in a way that brings real presence and warmth.
