Angel Angelic Angels Cherub Cherubs Putti Putto Scrap Scraps Wings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian scrap, dating back to the late 1890s, showcases a beautiful cherub head adorned with outstretched wings. The cherub, a putto or a mischievous and playful angelic being from Greek and Roman mythology, is often depicted as a young, chubby figure with wings. In this exquisite piece, the cherub's face is serene and peaceful, with a gentle expression that exudes a sense of innocence and purity. The intricate details of the wings, delicately carved from a thin piece of white paper or fabric, add an ethereal and otherworldly quality to the image. The background of the scrap is adorned with intricate floral and foliage designs, typical of the ornate and elaborate decorative style of the Victorian era. The overall effect is one of whimsy and enchantment, transporting the viewer to a time when angels and cherubs were a common motif in art and decor. This cherub head with wings on a Victorian scrap is a beautiful reminder of the enduring appeal of these mythical beings and the artistic creativity of the Victorian era.
