Description from the seller
Pair of antique bronze table frames – Allegorical figures – 1930/1940
Spectacular pair of antique tabletop frames, made of solid bronze, dating from the last third of the 19th century / early 20th century (circa 1900s).
These pieces stand out for their rich sculptural ornamentation, with finely modeled allegorical female figures holding flags, surrounded by abundant vegetal decoration and classical motifs. The overall impression conveys a clear sense of luxury, prestige, and solemnity, very characteristic of European bourgeois decoration from the late 19th century.
The deep relief and the quality of the modeling reflect careful craftsmanship, designed for elegant and representative interiors. Its sculptural design transforms these frames into true decorative pieces, beyond their original function as picture frames.
The frames retain their original structure, although they do not include the glass or the inner cover of the central oval, which is common in pieces of this age. The natural patina of the metal adds character and authenticity, enhancing their appeal as antique objects.
