About

These elegant antique putti sculptures were crafted in Italy circa 1860; each cherub wall hanging sculpture feature a hand carved cherub in the nude with short curly hair. Hand painted in black, the cherub’s arms are raised in exultation. It appears as if the curled fingers were originally intended to hold something, like a rod. These decorative religious pieces are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use and adorn the original patinated blackened finish. Measure: 8″ W x 4.75″ D x 15″ H.
