Early 19th Century French Hand-Carved Nutwood Putto Boy Sculpture

About the Item

Lovely putto sculpture in typical Baroque Style. This beautiful and chubby putto sculpture was probably part of a larger Church ornament/sculpture or it may have been attached to a beem somewhere high up (in image 6 you can see where it was once attached). This little boy putto wearing only a cloth radiates nothing but innocence and playfulness. This antique is a real eye-catcher with a wonderful patina.

  • Antique Quality Carved Solid Nutwood Christ with Palm Leaf Sculpture / Statuette
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Finest quality carved sculpture of Jesus with a marvelous patina. This marvelous quality, hand-carved sculpture of our Lord Jesus is among the finest we have ever seen and this truly is a work of religious art. It may be relatively small in size, but both the quality in the details and the beauty of His posture are simply majestic. For the sculptor not to leave his signature on this work of beauty, to us, shows his modesty. We believe that most artists in the religious genre felt that their gift/talent was god given and marking their sculptures, to them, was a sign of too much ego. The highly skilled sculptor must have spent weeks rather than days creating this antique statuette...
