Description from the seller

Really fantastic and imposing pair of wall consoles, all made of wood handcrafted by highly skilled Portuguese artisans in the early 20th century.

They are approximately 100 years old, and are covered with a rich layer of aged gold leaf that gives them a unique patina.

Both are in very good condition; they were highly valued pieces.

I have sold dozens of consoles here on Catawiki, and I dare say I've never had a pair as impressive and impactful as this one.

Each one weighs 6 kg.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
