About the Item
Behold a captivating pair of 18th-century hand-carved wooden treasures, dating from the remarkable span of 1717 to 1780. These exquisite pieces stand as a testament to the artistic mastery of their era, adorned with original polychrome and resplendent gold gilding that portrays the venerated Saints Cosmas and Damian in all their glory.
These remarkable relics carry with them a regal history, having once graced the possession of none other than the illustrious Queen of Hungary and Croatia, Maria Theresa. During her reign, these cherished artifacts adorned her castle, lending an air of opulence and reverence to their surroundings.
Each figure, resplendent in its intricate detailing, is depicted holding removable flags, adding a dynamic element to their presentation. Beneath their noble visage, a graceful oval compartment awaits discovery, its surface lovingly adorned with the original red velvet fabric—a touch of luxury that has stood the test of time.
Moreover, these exceptional pieces bear the mark of their creator, with discerning initials or signatures discreetly placed on their backs, providing a glimpse into the artisan's handiwork.
In summary, this pair of 18th-century hand-carved wooden sculptures, once cherished by royalty and steeped in history, invite you to appreciate not only their artistry but also the rich tapestry of their provenance. As tangible links to the past, they stand as enduring tributes to the enduring craft of their creators and the legacy of the Queen who held them dear.
