About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian hand-carved brown and gilt angel wing adorned with citrine and quartz crystals and mounted on a polished hematoid slab. The crystal skull is removable and coordinates with the base. The hand-carved angel wing was once part of a heavenly, angelic depiction in a historical church in Italy. 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. This piece exhibited with Museo Casa di Dante for an exhibition titled, Il Coraggio e la Paura. The exhibition was hosted by the Society of Fine Arts - Artists' Circle “Dante's House." In English the title translates to “Courage and Fear.” The collection presented at Museo Casa di Dante, a museum that honors the history and life of Dante Alighieri. It was formerly the famous Italian poet’s home and is now committed to sharing Dante’s literary work and important works of art.
