Mid 17th Century Italian Alabaster Pair of Altar Putti, circa 1650.
Absolutely charming and finely carved baroque figures of kneeling putti.
We particularly like details such as the plumpy cheeks and arms, curly hairdo, elaborate robe and feet.
They would have originally been placed either side of a tabernacle (shrine containing the Eucharist).
The two vertical holes at the back were intended for giltwood wings.
Delightful, rare and proper pair of figures.
Original, untouched condition, beautiful patina.
Height 21 cm.
