Carved And Mecca-gilded Wooden Cherub – 18th Century

Elegant 18th-century cherub carved in wood and finely mecca-gilded, of fine craftsmanship.The sculpture depicts a childlike face with soft and serene features, framed by delicately carved flowing hair; the finely detailed wings and harmonious modeling give the piece a strong sense of balance and grace.The mecca gilding, still clearly visible, displays a warm, aged patina with natural signs of wear that attest to the authenticity and historical character of the work.The piece can be attributed to Italian decorative production of the 18th century, likely created for ecclesiastical furnishings or sacred ornamental settings.A highly evocative object, ideal for collectors, antique dealers, or as a refined decorative element in both classical and contemporary interiors.Period: 18th centuryMaterial: Carved wood with mecca gildingOrigin: ItalyCondition: Good overall condition, with wear consistent with ageDimensions:Height: 24 cmWidth: 14.5 cmDepth: 12 cm
