Pair of Cornucopias - late 17th century

This splendid pair of cornucopias, dating back to the late 17th century, is made of lacquered and gilded wood, with a height of 130 cm. The two angelic figures, refined and elegant, stand on a rocky base, giving a sense of dynamism and lightness to the composition. Their gilded clothing, rendered with masterful decorative skill, enhances the preciousness of the work, while the serene faces and wavy hair express a typically Baroque grace. The cornucopias, symbols of abundance and prosperity, are positioned on the shoulders of the angels and serve as candle holders, suggesting their original decorative function in a sacred or aristocratic context. The harmony of proportions and the quality of the carving highlight the skill of a master sculptor of the period, probably active in an area influenced by the Italian or Flemish artistic tradition. A work of extraordinary beauty and historical charm, perfect for enriching an environment with the splendor and refinement of the Baroque.
