Item description

These two Italian hand-carved wooden angel wings are remarkable artefacts, exemplifying the grandeur and ornate beauty of the Baroque period. They are in good original condition, with signs of use and age. This pair of angel wings is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, meticulously hand-carved from fine wood and adorned with intricate details that evoke a sense of celestial splendour. The graceful curves and flowing contours of the wings reflect the Baroque aesthetic of dramatic shapes and elaborate ornamentation. The wood is expertly carved to create a sense of texture and depth, with delicate feathers and subtle patterns catching the light and casting shadows, adding to the ethereal allure of the wings. The lacquered finish enhances the richness of the wood, giving it a lustre that suggests opulence and sophistication. Measuring several centimetres in height and width, these angel wings command attention with their imposing presence, acting as majestic symbols of divine grace and beauty. Displayed as works of art in their own right or incorporated into architectural elements such as altarpieces or decorative panels, they imbue any space with a sense of awe and reverence. As artefacts of the Baroque era, these Italian lacquered and hand-carved angel wings are not only exquisite examples of artistic expression but also precious relics of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the spiritual and aesthetic values of the time.
