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. Overall condition is good and exactly as you would expect from a piece of this age. 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. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.

Price includes FREE UK delivery. Please contact me regarding international shipping.

Size: 20cm tall x 35cm wide x 6cm deep, weight 3.1kg.

FAQs

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.
