Large carved marble figural group, Venus Carrying Cherubs in Basket on Back, raised on integral socle, intact with restorations to the wings of both cherubs, approx 49"h, 15"w, 20"d

04.23.2026- In my opinion regarding LOT: 3323- the figural group is sturdy and overall intact, I observe typical very minor chips, rubs, imperfections and some abrasions, there is evidence of outdoor use with some dirt and light debris, the sculpture would benefit from a thorough cleaning, a UV light examination reveals that both winged putto have restoration to their wings, one is with a loss to the tip of the wing, all mentioned commensurate with  outdoor display, the piece presents well
