18th Century Lead Putto Figure Furniture Carved armrests depict foliate detailA delightful 18th century lead putto figure holding a triangle. The putto has the most wonderful form and boasts great verve. This putto would have originally been part of a larger piece and has a slightly rounded base, meaning it must be placed with caution. Note it is heavy for its size (at over 1. 3kg) so it does have good purchase once placed. A charming object. Dimensions Height: 20cm Width: 9cm Diameter of base: 5cm Weight: 1. 36 kilograms
