Pair Of Angels In Gilded And Polychrome Carved Wood, 16th Century
A pair of angels in the “terme” style supporting finely carved linden wood capitals.
These sculptures most likely originated from a significant piece of furniture or wood paneling.
Despite the ravages of time (missing pieces, damage, and past woodworm infestations), the set retains a remarkable delicacy of carving. The delicacy of the faces, the beauty of the drapery, and the very fine remnants of polychromy and gilding.
