Vintage Italian Baroque-Style Cherub Musicians – Hand-Crafted and Painted Putti Figures, Mid-20th Century

 Vintage Italian Baroque-Style Cherub Musicians – Hand-Carved and Painted Putti Figures, HEAVY, Mid-20th Century

Bring a touch of divine artistry to your home with this exquisite pair of vintage Italian cherub musicians, hand-crafted and painted in the Baroque or Rococo revival style. Each putto is masterfully sculpted in paper mache, plaster and gesso, depicting joyful angels in motion—one serenading with a violin, the other playing a trumpet—their expressive faces and delicate gilt wings radiating warmth and joy.

Originating from Italy in the mid-20th century, these decorative figures recall the opulence of 18th-century church and villa carvings. The hand-painted flesh tones, soft shading, and original gilded accents showcase the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of Italian artisans from regions like Florence or Naples, long celebrated for their ecclesiastical and figural sculpture traditions.

Perfect for flanking a mirror, hanging above a mantel, or displayed among giltwood frames and antique candelabra, this duo adds a heavenly layer of Old World charm to any grandmillennial, Rococo, or European-inspired interior.

They are substantial in size and weight with one measuring 22” long x 13” wide; the other 20” long x 11.5” wide. 

I acquired them at a posh estate in the Westlake Hills area of Austin, TX.
