"Large Pair Of Solid And Gilded Wood Angels, 18th Century"

Large pair of angels in natural and gilded carved wood. Great tenderness emanates from the faces of the seraphim. The two envoys from Heaven each hold a phylactery carved from the mass. The Latin phrases "Quæ cœli pandis ostium" and "Bella premunt hostilia" come from O salutaris Hostia, a Christian hymn composed by Saint Thomas Aquinas and sung during daily mass during the reign of Louis XIV in the presence of the Sun King. The large gilded wings folded along the body are gilded. 18th century period. Usual restorations.
