A beautiful Renaissance work, this Italian stoup in red marble from Verona, also called Marble of Sant Ambrogio.
In its center, an angel's head in high relief, with soft lines, with its hair and fine features. Hemmed lips and finely drawn nose, this angel exudes tenderness. Our cherub, like the protectors of the Ark of the Covenant, with his outstretched wings, welcomes and protects... here, the receptacle of holy water offered to believers.
A beautiful massive basin that was once sealed in a wall of a chapel.
Dimensions of 65 cm wide by 51 deep for about 11 cm high.
A piece appraised by Mrs. Fligny
