Cherub & Putto Figurine

This is a figurine of cherub (possibly Amor) with a lady friend mady by Fuerstenberg in about 1790. A very well modeled and handpainted figurine of a great topic. The piece shows a cupid standing mostly naked with a cloth around the sensitive area with an arrow in his right hand and his left hand touch a female putto's hand that is holding a heart. She is sitting down also only covered with a small cloth. The base is nicely done with a bit of puce and gold trim to the edge. The figure is 4.5 inches tall, 3.875 inches wide and 2.375 inches deep. It is marked with one of the script blue F marks but it is not all thre anymore due to wear and hard to make out - it is however definitely an 18th century piece. The figure is in superb condition with just the bottom tip of the arrow broken off and missing - an easy fix if need be but I think it is fine the way it is right now!. A tiny bit of wear to the gilding on the wings. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $1249
