Pair Of Wooden Sculptures Depicting Allegorical Figures Holding A Cornucopia. Italy, 17th Century.
A pair of children dressed in old-fashioned style, wearing wide, flowing robes finely decorated with gold leaf and gold-finished lacquer. These allegorical figures were likely designed for home décor and differ from the typical religious motifs found on such objects, which usually depict winged angels.
They are in excellent condition, especially the lacquer and gold work.
It is likely that these objects were produced in the Papal States or in central-southern Italy during the second half of the 17th century.
The height of the objects is 61 cm.
A certificate of authenticity is included with the sale.
