These pieces instantly inject a sense of history, gravitas, and classical beauty into any space. The heads are exquisitely carved in a deeply expressive style reminiscent of 17th-century Baroque or Classical Revival figures, possibly representing Putti (cherubs) or young angels. Their features are finely rendered with closed or downcast eyes, suggesting an emotional or contemplative state, giving them a unique sense of drama and tranquility. The hair is sculpted into voluminous, tight curls that frame the face beautifully. See less
