This is part ofy collectors friends collection that I wanted to share. The handpainted cherubs no incredible caeved frame is all original and is amazing to behold. Any help on information on bothe pieces. Would be grateful. Thanks for looking
The image of the two cherubs is well-known, taken from Raphael: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistine_Madonna
Just love the frame and even though you don't see the back, the detail is continued...lovely!
Merry Christmas Lee..have a wonderful one!..:-)
This is one of my favorite motives! I have a print of the painting in my living room and countless pill boxes, stationary, etc. featuring either the whole painting or just the angels in my house! But none of mine are as beautiful as the one you posted:(
I love it!
you probably are right sort of 1870 style , doesnot matter that,s wood in stead of ormolu , porcelain is superior and the cisele is superior, this is a lot of money
maybe strange remark but did you get sevres out of the equation ?
