Cherub with Bocage Figurine

This is a nice figurine of a cherub standing on a base made by Bow around the mid 18th century. He is nicely modeled with a flower garland sash with a dog by his side and a quiver wull of arrows by his knees. The back has a superb bocage (basically a flower tree) to it. The base is nciely modeled and highlighted with turquoise and puce as well as some gilding. The flowers are very nice and detailed and considering they were all done by hand - if I did it it would pretty lousy!! There is a bird hidden among the flowers of the tree. The figurine displays nicely but as is most often the case there are restorations to the tree as well as the hands/arm of the figurine. The flowers and leaves are in good shape generally speaking but the very center top ones are a replacement which blend in very well! I am assuming this was likely a candle holder but not totally sure. All in all in better shape than many I have seen! The piece is marked on the back with their red mark as shown. Not one you see often as many of their works are unsigned. The figurine is 8.75 inches tall, 5.5 inches wide and 3.75 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $699
