Vintage French Bronze Cherub Sculpture - 14.5" Fine Art Statue
A magnificent, heavy-cast vintage French bronze cherub sculpture, beautifully designed to serve as both an impressive standalone fine art statue and a functional classic taper candle holder.
Standing an imposing 14.5" tall, this exceptional piece features a beautifully detailed, winged cherub (or putti) captured in a fluid, joyful dancing motion. The cherub gracefully holds aloft an elegant, stylized flower on a vine, which forms a single candle holder basin. Because of its generous height and substantial, heavy quality, it makes a stunning focal piece for a fireplace mantle, an elegant library desk, or an upscale Hollywood Regency or Baroque-style display.
