Élodie French Provincial Cherub Figurine, Distressed White Sitting Angel Sculpture
30-day money back guarantee
A quiet little cherub with folded wings and a softly chipped finish, the kind of piece that feels found rather than bought.
Élodie sits cross-legged with her hands cupped and her wings curled gently behind her. She's cast in magnesium oxide composite, then given a distressed whitewash finish that wears back to a warm sandy undertone along the high points, the wings, and the edges of her hair. The effect reads aged stone, not new resin.
At 20 cm tall and 17 cm wide, she's a shelf-scale piece, big enough to anchor a vignette but small enough to tuck between books or beside a candle. She suits a bedside table, a styled console, a layered shelfie, or a quiet corner of a French country kitchen.
Why we love it
- ◆ Soft, romantic posture, hands cupped and wings folded inward for a contemplative rather than ornamental feel
- ◆ Distressed whitewash on magnesium oxide, with chipped highlights along the wings and curls that read as genuinely aged
- ◆ Shelf-friendly scale, 20 cm tall and freestanding, no mounting or assembly required
- ◆ A gentle gift, works for housewarmings, christenings, remembrance pieces, or anyone drawn to French country styling

How to style it
Élodie likes a layered, slightly weathered setting. A few ideas:
- Pair her with a vintage book stack and a candle on a console, beside one of our arched mirrors
- Set her on a styled shelf with greenery, brass, and a soft linen runner, alongside other decorative sculptures
- Use her as a focal point on a bedside table, tucked beside a small candle holder and a fresh stem in a bud vase
- Build a duo by pairing her with a standing cherub for a small mantel vignette
Stylist's Tip Place Élodie slightly off-centre on a stack of two or three old books, with a brass or gilded object nearby to pick up the sandy undertones in her finish. Negative space around her does more than crowding.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft-bristle brush for the textured detail in the wings and hair. Magnesium oxide is porous, so avoid wet cleaning, harsh chemicals, and prolonged damp. Indoor or covered outdoor use only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Élodie sit outside?
She's best as an indoor piece, or on a fully covered verandah or sheltered patio. Magnesium oxide doesn't love rain, frost, or strong direct sun, so full outdoor exposure will dull the finish quickly.
What style of decor does she suit?
French Provincial, French country, English cottage, romantic, and shabby chic interiors. She also works in eclectic or modern-vintage spaces where a single soft, sculptural piece is doing the heavy lifting.
How big is she?
20 cm tall, 17 cm wide, 12 cm deep. About the height of a standard paperback turned on its end, so she sits comfortably on a shelf, console, or bedside without overpowering the surface.
Will every cherub look exactly like the photos?
Élodie is hand-finished, so the chip pattern, paint distribution, and sandy undertones vary slightly from piece to piece. That's part of the appeal and the reason she reads as aged rather than mass-produced.
Does she make a good gift?
Yes. She's a thoughtful piece for housewarmings, milestone birthdays, christenings, or as a remembrance keepsake. The scale suits gift-giving and the finish photographs beautifully wrapped in linen or tissue.
Because Élodie is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
