Pair of Angel Statues | 1800s Antique | 33.9" / 86 cm
A pair of large 19th-century European carved and polychromed wood altar figures of kneeling adoring candle bearing angels.

Their detachable carved wings feature nuanced feather detailing, complementing the original polychrome surfaces. These impressive liturgical sculptures make a striking statement for high-end interior spaces, church furnishings, or specialized collections of religious art.
