AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent pair of wall hooks, richly ornate, made and displaying a verdigris patina.

Each hook consists of a decorative backplate, a curved main arm ending in a sculpted animal head (resembling a griffin or a dragon), and a smaller lower hook.

Their style evokes the early 19th century, characterized by an elaborate aesthetic and robust craftsmanship. These objects were used to hang hats, coats, or other garments, with great elegance..

The most striking element of these hooks is undoubtedly the design of the griffin heads (or similar mythological creatures) that form the upper end of each hook. The level of detail in the carving is remarkable; this feature transforms a simple function into a work of art, where each hook tells a story of symbolism and power.

The blue-green patina highlights the contours and adds visual depth to these authentic pieces.

Well-packaged shipment with tracking.
