A Fine 19th-Century Impressive Large Scale Italian Baroque Style Putti Statue

A 19th-century impressive large-scale Italian Baroque style putti statue depicting a winged cherub. It is crafted from solid pine wood with exceptional detail, featuring a branch, smaller scallop shells, and holding a large carved scallop shell. The putti statue, dating from the 1860s, embodies Baroque style, known for its drama, movement, and animated sculptures and architecture of that era. The nude winged infant, known as a putti or cherub, supports the large carved pine scallop shell (with a hinged top revealing small storage), as if making an offering. It stands on a shaped base decorated with more shells. This beautifully ornate Baroque putti statue is an impressive piece for an interior inspired by Baroque and Renaissance styles, showcasing the remarkable talent of the 19th-century woodcarver.
