A French Colonial Polychrome Decorated Carved Pine Figure of an Angel

Possibly Quebec, probably 19th century

With painted porcelain set eyes.

H: 35 1/2, W: 17 1/2, D: 12 in. (approx.)

With stylishly distressed apperance, paint actively cracking and flaking all-over, many areas without paint, overall apperance commensurate with age. Several breaks and restorations: both wings with breaks, one repaired with metal brack, moderately stable, a crack at bottom of same wing, fragile condition, likely to break unless stablized and repaired; the other wing with break glued together, not stable, requires stabilization. Also a restored break at foot; presently detached from the base, with evidence of former glue reattachment
