Item Details

A pair of large antique Italian ecclesiastical walnut sculptures later mounted on bespoke oak plinths dating to circa 1800.


In an impressive large scale, these musical figures offer a sense of movement as one plays a flute and the other a mandolin; their characterful expressions and dynamic profiles allow them to offer a sense of realism, almost like they will come to life at any minute.


Their appealing distressed look from the time worn polychrome finish compliments their detailed characteristics, from their hair to their robes.


Together they would look impressive either side of a doorway or arch, acting as though they are waiting to perform.


Additional information


The base measures at 38.5cm2.


The sculpture playing the flute weighs 21kg and the other is 23kg.


CONDITION REPORT


Good structural condition. Scuffs and losses to the paint in places. Minor historic repairs. There are numerous fixing holes to the back of each sculpture. The backs are not painted as the rest of the sculpture is. Historic (treated) woodworm to the back of both pieces.
