The carved wood companion figures are posed in reverent adoration, one with hands crossed over the chest and the other with palms joined in prayer. Bowed heads, layered ecclesiastical robes, and long feathered wings give the pair a graceful and balanced presence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pale painted surfaces are accented with soft flesh tones, brown hair, and restrained gilt ornament along the vestments and wings. These figures were likely made for placement near an altar or within a devotional setting. Their substantial scale, coordinated poses, and expressive faces make them especially effective when displayed together.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike all our antiques, they were thoughtfully sourced in Europe, to be imported to our Oregon warehouse, and carefully finished with antique-grade paste wax to preserve their beauty for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pair is in good antique condition with substantial wear consistent with age and former use. The painted and gilt surfaces show rubbing, discoloration, flaking, and scattered losses; age-related shrinkage cracks and separations are visible throughout, particularly at the robes and bases, with chips and losses along the wing edges and base corners. Both figures remain stable for display and have been inspected with no signs of active woodworm or dry rot. Please review photos carefully to note the various areas of loss.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nEach statue: 34\" high x 12\" wide x 16\" deep\u003cbr\u003e\nBase of each: approximately 12-1\/2\" wide x 13\" deep\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping:\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge items are carefully blanket-wrapped and delivered by trusted small-business transport companies experienced in handling antiques and fine furniture.
