The religious cherub ornaments are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorn the original patinated gilt finish. The colorful sculptures would make a charming addition on a shelf in a study, or displayed on a table or buffet in a living room or den. Measures: 9″W x 8″D x 11″H.
