Description
Stunning Antique/Vintage Polychrome Holy Water Font (Bénitier) – Putti, Cherubs & Holy Cross
An exceptionally beautiful and highly decorative religious wall-mounted holy water font (bénitier), perfect for collectors of ecclesiastical art or as a soulful statement piece in a curated interior. This striking piece features a heavily detailed, three-dimensional scene depicting two expressive putti (cherubs) at the base of the Holy Cross, elegantly draped with a flowing white shroud. The figures rest atop an ornate, architectural bracket base adorned with classic scrollwork, acanthus leaf motifs, and soft blue and gold gilt accents. The font bowl at the very bottom retains its classic, decorative shape. The soft, naturally aged polychrome finish gives this piece immense depth and character, highlighting the fine definition in the angels' wings and the graceful folds of the drapery.
Features:
- Beautifully rendered devotional scene with dramatic Baroque-style composition.
- Rich polychrome palette featuring muted flesh tones, deep wood-tones on the cross, and elegant blue/gold accents on the base.
- Solid structural condition, ready for wall hanging.
- A timeless piece of religious history that blends effortlessly with both traditional and dramatic, eclectic decors.
Condition Report:
Offered in lovely antique/vintage condition. The piece displays a wonderful, authentic patina with light surface wear, minor paint chips, and gentle distressing that beautifully enhances its historic, soulful look. There are no major structural cracks or missing integral pieces. Please review the high-resolution photographs carefully to appreciate its fine details and exact condition.
Dimensions: 34 x 14 cm
