Description

Fine early 19th century large cast metal statue of embracing putti/cherub,c1820. This has been beautifully cast with lovely fine detail to the features, hair, fingers etc. The metal has aged well and taken on great colour/patina.

There are holes around the base which indicate at some point in its life it would have been mounted on something, but it now works well as a standalone decorative piece.

Putti are chubby, winged child figures derived from classical mythology, which experienced a major revival during the Renaissance and later neoclassical periods in European art and architecture.

These pieces were typically produced using sand-casting methods in cast iron, bronze, or spelter, often finished with protective or decorative coatings such as patination or paint.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate casting flaws, natural surface oxidisation, deep patination, and wear patterns consistent with age rather than artificial ageing treatments.

Such pieces can be displayed on a mantelpiece, mounted as architectural elements, or used as focal points on large surfaces to introduce classical texture and sculptural contrast to modern spaces.

Preservation involves gently removing surface dust with a dry, soft brush and applying microcrystalline wax to protect the metal from moisture and active corrosion without altering the original patina.
