Italian Baroque Panel Featuring the Head of a Cherub Putto.

17th century
Description

This exquisite Italian Baroque carved and painted wooden panel and door features the head of a cherub, or putto, set amidst foliage and feather motifs in relief, encased within a beautifully adorned frame. The panel's striking decoration is a quintessential example of Italian naive faux marble, intentionally painted in vibrant, intense colors to simulate the appearance of a non-existent, extraordinary marble. The artwork underwent restoration, likely in the 1980s, by Nicola Restauri Studio, renowned for its expertise in conservative restoration for museums, galleries, and cultural and artistic heritage institutions. Since the restoration some small repairs can be considered for the face of the cherub (see images).

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Italian Baroque woodcarvings from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are distinguished by high-relief carving, dramatic expression, and dynamic movement. Often commissioned for churches or private chapels, these pieces frequently incorporate cherub heads, winged motifs, faux-marbled painted finishes, and extensive gilding.

Craftsmen typically used carved hardwoods or softwoods coated with a gesso base layer before applying paint and gold leaf. The polychrome technique involved layering pigments to simulate marble or stone, while water gilding brought luminosity to relief carvings such as putti and leaf motifs.

Authentic period pieces display age-appropriate characteristics, such as natural shrinkage cracks along wood grain joints, hand-carved tool marks, and genuine oxidisation or craquelure in the paint and gilding. Original iron hinges or keyhole escutcheons often show hand-forged irregularities.

Architectural panels and carvings function as compelling wall art when hung as a standalone focal point or integrated into a curated gallery wall. Pairing dark, gilded carvings with neutral textured walls or contemporary furniture creates a contrast between historic texture and modern design.

Gilded and painted wooden panels should be kept in climate-controlled environments away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent paint flaking and wood warping. Dust gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding moisture, liquid cleaners, or abrasive polishes that could lift gold leaf or delicate pigments.
