Group of three carved wooden and gessoed putti, angels, or cherubs. Likely 18th, 19th, and 20th century. Two with gilt wings and decoration.

Provenance: From the Estate of Horst Rechelbacher, Osceola, Wisconsin.

Horst Rechelbacher, the founder of Aveda and Intelligent Nutrients, was a pioneer in the field of safe and eco-friendly cosmetics. The same curiosity that led him to explore ways to improve the beauty industry led him to travel the world, collecting rare and beautiful objects as he went.

Height ranges from 9 1/2 in to 19 in; width ranges from 5 in to 13 1/2 in; depth ranges from 5 in to 6 in.

Condition

All components of the angels appear to be present and attached. All three have scattered losses to the painted decoration. There are restorations to all three, most notably along the arms of the largest angel. There are splits to the wood throughout all three. Please contact us for a detailed condition report. Please note that the lack of a condition statement does not imply perfect condition. Email condition@revereauctions.com with any condition questions.
