A charming antique bronze paperweight in the form of a softly modelled putto head, circa the 19th century. With its rounded cheeks, gently closed eyes, and delicately curled hair, the piece carries a quiet sense of warmth and intimacy.
The surface has developed a rich, nuanced patina over time, lending depth and character to the bronze while highlighting the sculptural details of the face. Both decorative and functional, it sits beautifully on a desk, adding a subtle classical note.
