About the Item

A striking Baroque angel torchbearer sculpture carved in wood and retaining traces of its original polychrome decoration. The figure is depicted standing in a graceful contrapposto pose, holding the remains of its original torch-bearing element. Deeply carved drapery folds, expressive facial features, and dynamic movement reflect the enduring influence of the Spanish Baroque tradition. The sculpture stands on an architectural pedestal decorated with a distinctive blue diamond-shaped motif, enhancing its visual presence and decorative appeal. Areas of wear, losses, and surface abrasion reveal the age of the piece and contribute to its authentic character. Likely created in Spain or the Spanish Colonial world during the late 17th or early 18th century, the sculpture was originally conceived as part of a larger ecclesiastical decorative scheme, serving both devotional and ornamental purposes. Dimensions: 50 × 13 × 14 cm The piece displays age-related wear, losses to the original polychromy, and historical restorations consistent with centuries of use and devotion.
