Carrara White Marble Angel's Head, 18th-century Italian Work

A charming angel’s head carved from beautiful white Carrara marble, an 18th-century Italian work.

This delicate sculpture depicts a cherub with a round, youthful face, full cheeks, and a gentle gaze. The features are rendered with great sensitivity, while the small wings enveloping the base of the head lend the piece a sense of lightness and evoke Italian Baroque works intended to decorate religious buildings or aristocratic residences. Angel and putto heads are a recurring motif in 17th- and 18th-century Italian sculpture, particularly prized for their decorative and spiritual qualities.

The marble features a beautiful antique patina, with a delicate polish on the face contrasting with a more matte finish on the wings, highlighting the sculptor’s craftsmanship.

The sculpture rests on a blackened wooden base, added later, which perfectly highlights the whiteness of the marble and allows for a refined presentation.

A charming piece, ideal for enriching a collection of antique sculptures or adding a Baroque touch to an interior.

Dimensions:

• Height of the sculpture: 15 cm
• Total height with base: 23 cm
