Pensive Cherub on Seashell with Verdigris Patina & Gold Accents, 12 cm – Vintage 1980s/90s Classical Decor

Effect

The hand-applied verdigris patina in blue-green with warm, brushed gold accents gives the figure the character of old bronze – a romantic eye-catcher on a mantelpiece, bookshelf or vanity.
