This striking architectural salvage piece came from an early 1900s church in Kansas City, Missouri, and carries all the character and presence of historic ecclesiastical design.
Beautifully sculpted with exceptional movement and drapery, the composition has a graceful, almost floating quality. The angels’ flowing forms and sweeping lines create wonderful visual energy, while the warm neutral palette and aged painted finish give it depth, softness, and timeless appeal. Its large scale makes it an impressive statement piece for interiors ranging from traditional and European-inspired spaces to modern homes seeking contrast through antique architectural elements.
Measures approximately 46 inches wide x 27 inches high x 9 inches deep.
Condition is consistent with age and architectural use. There is visible wear including paint loss and chipping throughout, and the right angel is missing one hand. Please review photos carefully for condition details. Despite imperfections—or perhaps because of them—it retains remarkable presence, authenticity, and sculptural beauty.
A rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of church history and antique architectural décor with dramatic scale and undeniable character. See less
