Polychrome putto in carved wood, covered in pastille, painted and mecca gilded.
Complete with the original candle holder, wings intact.
I would like to point out some lack of the covering and also some attempts to restore the colour.
It can be kept like this or, if you want it to be perfect again, a restoration is needed to fill and paint the small defects.
It is truly fascinating, from the look to the delicate color of the cheeks. 67449977 Read more
