An Antique, Carved, Polychrome Religious Holy Water Font, Decorated With Putti (angels) And A Cross.

Stunning antique polychrome holy water font – Putti, cherubs, and the Holy Cross

A religious wall-mounted holy water font of exceptional beauty and great decorative appeal, ideal for collectors of ecclesiastical art or as a soulful centerpiece in a tastefully decorated interior.

This remarkable piece features a richly detailed relief scene depicting two expressive putti (cherubs) at the foot of the Holy Cross, which is elegantly draped in a white shroud with flowing folds. The figures rest on an ornate architectural base, adorned with classical volutes, acanthus leaf motifs, and touches of soft blue and gilding. The basin, located at the very bottom, retains its classic decorative form.

The soft polychrome finish, weathered by time, lends the work immense depth and character, highlighting the delicacy of the angels’ wings and the grace of the drapery.
