This striking pair of mid-19th century Sicilian altar angels captures the sacred beauty and craftsmanship of ecclesiastical art. Hand-carved, gessoed, and gilded in luminous 22-karat gold, these terracotta figures depict angels singing in adoration mid-flight, their expressive faces and flowing forms conveying both motion and reverence. Originally created to adorn a grand altar, they reflect the richly devotional artistry of 19th century Italian religious sculpture.

Now mounted on sleek, custom Lucite stands, the figures are elevated into contemporary display pieces while preserving their historical integrity. With a height of 20 inches and a 16-inch diameter span, these gilded altar angels serve as a powerful fusion of antique spiritual symbolism and modern presentation—ideal for collectors of sacred art, interior decorators, or curators of devotional or Baroque-inspired spaces.
