In Val Gardena, the hands of our master sculptors bring to life figures of extraordinary sweetness, like this Wooden Cherub Sitting. Modeled with rounded shapes and a softness typical of childhood, it captures attention with its enigmatic pose: sitting with its head reclined, delicately hiding its face with both hands. The sculpture is entirely made of maple wood, selected for its fine grain and stability, ideal for carvings of these small dimensions (from 5.6 cm to 14 cm).
Finishes range from refined natural wood (also available with a thin gold thread) to vividly colored variants. In the illustrated version, the opaque ivory body contrasts beautifully with the wings painted in a deep, mottled blue, evoking the effect of clouds or celestial marble. Each piece is a tribute to Val Gardena's artisanal tradition, a symbol of innocence and protection created to last over time.
