About the Item

Pair of Italian Hand-Carved Cherub Table Lamps – Gilded Wood, circa 1940 A striking and atmospheric pair of Italian table lamps, each featuring a hand-carved baroque cherub in a kneeling pose, holding a gilded cornucopia-shaped base. These sculptural figures are crafted from wood and richly gilded, with a dark patina that enhances their expressive features and classical detailing. Made in Italy, circa 1940, these lamps reflect the influence of baroque and rococo design, often seen in religious and aristocratic interiors. The cherubs display remarkable craftsmanship, with finely rendered hair, detailed anatomy, and dynamic, theatrical gestures.
