About this piece
back to topA 19th century continental mahogany angel wood carving.
This winged Putti or angel skilfully carved in high relief from a deeply coloured mahogany. The head has flowing hair intertwined with flowers. The wings below are flowing and layered with intricate details.
Reclaimed from a cabinet showcased in the second Swiss national exhibition of 1896 in Geneva. It was at this event that the automobile was introduced to Switzerland for the first time!
One of two we have available, both fitted with a hanger ready to display.
