Vintage Resin Cherub Wall Plaque with Lyre
This item is a decorative wall plaque depicting a winged cherub or putto in a classic Baroque-inspired style. The figure is shown in a dynamic, floating pose, holding a lyre. It is constructed from a molded material, likely a cold-cast resin or a composite polymer, designed to mimic the appearance of carved ivory or aged alabaster. The color is a uniform creamy off-white with minor tonal variations. Physically, the cherub exhibits soft, rounded features typical of the style, with detailed wavy hair, feathered wings, and flowing drapery around the midsection. The craftsmanship shows mass-production qualities characteristic of late 20th-century home decor (likely 1970s-1990s), with mold lines visible upon close inspection. Condition-wise, the piece appears largely intact but shows signs of age and handling, including minor surface scuffs, an accumulation of light dust in the crevices, and a small area of finish loss or a scuff mark visible on the left knee. There are no prominent maker's marks visible from the front view. The scale is approximately 8 to 10 inches in height, fitting easily within a human hand as shown in the provenance image.
