About the Item

Hand carved, 18th century, Italian gilded angel wing mounted on an aragonite mineral emulating a cloud. The wing is adorned with natural forming baroque pearls that coordinate with the carved feather detailing. The shades of the pearls complement the colors on the wing that have been distressed due to age.  The angel wing was once part of an angelic depiction in a historic church in Tuscany which is signified by two pearls creating a cross shape on the aragonite cloud. The aragonite is originally from Morocco and known for its particular type of crystalized formation.  The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian angel wing is originally 18th century. The angel artifact combined with the natural elements create a figurative and historically significant work of art, all coordinating as if they evolved together over time.
