Italia, metà del XVIII secolo

ITALY, MID-18TH CENTURY

Pair of doves

inlaid and gilt wood, cm 56 height

Portrayed in the moment of cooing, one dove is holding the other with its claw, while their beaks graze one another.

The two birds are resting on wooden stalks decorated by lyre-shaped arches in front, that perhaps evoke the arch of Love.
