A Superb late C17th carving in boxwood of an angel, this is a museum quality piece with astounding detail, the sense of motion and fluidity are as fine as I have seen, the base of the robe is inlaid with glass to catch the light and the whole has a soft patina, the stand is formed as a cloud painted and gilt.
The condition is very good, there are some losses to the fingers and there may have been an object in the right hand.
