Rare antique altar angel in gilded carved wood France late 18th early 19th century

  
Antique Carved and Gilded Wooden Altar Angel - France, Late 18th / Early 19th Century. Of French origin, dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century.

This celestial figure, with a gentle expression, is depicted holding in its hands a small censer suspended by a delicate chain. A strong liturgical symbol evoking prayer and spiritual elevation. The body of the angel retains its original gilding, with a warm and authentic patina. As is often the case with ancient religious sculptures, one wing has been restored for conservation and aesthetic legibility.

The wings have been regilded during a careful restoration; the finish, executed with great care, offers a result very close to traditional gold leaf gilding. There are slight ancient cracks at the forearms, which do not affect the stability of the piece; the sculpture is stable and was consolidated during the restoration. The whole rests on a wooden base, enhanced by gilded regulus feet with floral decoration, adding elegance and stability to the sculpture. A high-quality antique object, typical of altar or chapel decorative elements, probably originating from a church or a religious ensemble. Height of the angel alone.

Total height including the base. Late 18th - Early 19th century. A decorative and spiritual piece of great elegance, ideal for a characterful interior, a sacred art collection, or the display of an antique altar.
