FROM ANTIQUE STORE in SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, GUANAJUATO MEXICO:
BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE AND ONE-OF-A-KIND, IN VINTAGE CONDITION!
ANTIQUE OLD (late 19 c.- early 20 c.) MEXICAN HAND-CARVED POLYCHROMATIC WOODEN FIGURE of a STANDING WINGED ANGEL with MOVABLE HANDS. Detached WINGS. 9" tall.
MASTERFULLY HAND - CARVED FROM ONE SOLID PIECE OF WOOD; Hands are attached; WINGS originally were attached, now DETACHED
This beautiful antique statue is in vintage condition due to age. Expected spots of wear due to age; arms are movable with losses & damages to the hands; wings (detached) are in relatively good condition with minimal losses and surface cracks; need attaching. Detailed wood carving, polychromatic hand-painting, 9" tall; with attached wings will be 10" wide wingtip to wingtip.
Wood-carved angels and cherubs used to be a part of home décor in the Mexican villages for centuries. There are no two angels that would be exactly alike. Nowadays, they are not that easily found because mostly they remain in the families as a family heirloom, thought to bring good luck to the household. They represent a beautiful work of Mexican Folk Art!
PLEASE NOTE: this is an old, antique piece; it is being sold "AS IS". Please review all the photos carefully before bidding!
