Pair of late 17th Century carved wood figures of angels

Pair of extremely fine carved and polychrome decorated figures of angels, late 17th Century,

A pair of carved and polychromed fruitwood angel sculptures from Italy, circa 1680. These impressive figures, standing 110 cm tall, capture the grandeur of the Baroque style. In contrast to the cherubic putti of the 18th century, these angels are depicted as elegant adults, full of movement and grace. Intricately carved with large, finely detailed wings, each figure carries a trumpet in their left hand and kneels gracefully on cloud-shaped bases.

Dimensions of the largest angel (left):
Height: 113 cm
Width: 101 cm
Depth: 66 cm
Depth including trumpet: 79 cm
