Fragment of Sicilian angel in wood, late 19th century
SILVER Seller in Catania, Italy
This Sicilian Art Nouveau sculpture was part of a larger composition from a piece of furniture, it is in very good original condition. Walnut wood was an appropriate choice for its warm tones and subtle grains. The angel fragment features sinuous curves, floral elements, and an overall emphasis on elegance and sensuality. The fragment incorporates cultural influences from Sicily, an island well known for its religiosity which has always been part of life and which also manifests itself in the furnishings of homes.
