Description

DATE: Victorian, c.1880

This super charming Victorian brooch pair are modelled as two little cherubs, each one playing an instrument. They look great worn as a pair on your jacket collar, and they're modelled in brass throughout. Known as Putti or Putto, the cherubs are very common as angels making music, as instruments of profane love- its like their own little orchestra! They are each shown playing their own instrument, the triangle and the flute- symbolizing heavenly joy, innocence and divine harmony.
