High relief sculptures: Angels (2) - Louis XVI - Gilt, Lacquer, Wood - Late 18th century

[ translate ]

Pair of wooden altar panels, depicting announcing angels, executed in high relief and framed, with pure gold leaf gilding, real silver leaf silvering, lacquers. Rare artefacts, made in Lombardy in the latter part of the 18th century, during the Louis XVI period, in the Neo-classical style. A stunning work of art, never restored, in very good condition. Oxidation on the gilded parts and signs of wear. No work was carried out, the piece was only dusted and waxed. In May 2020, it was auctioned off the first of the two pairs in the seller's possession, which came from a private chapel of the nobility that had been decommissioned and was part of an inherited dispersal. Shipped with professional packaging.
