Hand-Carved Vintage Wood Guardian Angel with Child – 28015

A charming vintage carving of an angel holding a lantern and cradling a child.  Hand-carved acacia wood, deeply three-dimensional, ready to hang.

In Italy, angels and cherubs – putti or putto – adorn surfaces everywhere; not just beautiful, they’re considered a sign of protection and peaceful intention.

This vintage hand-carved angel cradling a swaddled child was hand-crafted from acacia wood with natural gesso; her gown is brick red and the child’s blanket is blue.  Beautifully detailed and three-dimensional, the face is sweet with fine carving to the long wavy hair, wings and collar.

Particularly sweet in a child’s room.

Measures 11 1/4” in height, 9” in width.

Carved in the Philippines.
