About the Item

This Wood Carved Vintage Angel Sculpture has alot of history. The Manhattan Angels were commissioned sometime in the mid-twentieth century for a church restoration in New York City. The sculptor, Bogden Bogkowski, was commissioned to carve these “angels” for the church’s planned restoration. Bogkowski worked on them for a period of time but ultimately the funding never came through and Bogkowski stopped working on them. In the 1980s Bogkowski died and the angels then went to his nephew who lived in New York. They remained in his basement until purchased in 2020 there until we purchased them in 2020. Two angels - listed separately. The angels are in raw and bleached wood form. The measurements are all slightly different for each piece and the bases are all approximately 10 x 14 To view all of our listings at Tiffany Farha Design, scroll down and click on VIEW ALL FROM SELLER.
