Baroque-style wall console made of wood from France, dating to 1950–1960, with a 26 cm width, 33 cm height and 21 cm depth; in good used condition with minor signs of age and imperfections.
Description from the seller
This wall shelf in the Baroque style, made in the second half of the 20th century, is a decorative piece that reinterprets classical codes with an ornamental and theatrical approach. Likely crafted from resin or carved and painted wood, it features a structure in the shape of a bracket or console, with a flat upper surface intended to hold decorative objects.
Its design is inspired by 17th-century European Baroque, highlighting elements such as:
Vegetal motifs: exuberant acanthus leaves and scrolls that unfold dynamically, evoking the movement and formal richness of late Baroque.
Golden details: the use of gold on a white background emphasizes the contrast and adds a touch of luxury, typical of the decorative reinterpretations of the 20th century.
Ornamental symmetry: although it is not a functional architectural piece, it maintains the characteristic symmetry and visual balance of the style.
Modern materials: unlike the originals in carved wood or stucco, this version may be made from lighter and more moldable materials, designed for home decoration.
This type of shelf was popular in classical or eclectic interiors during the heyday of the historicist revival in mid-20th-century decoration, especially in Europe and America. Its value lies more in its visual impact and evocation of the old than in its actual age, although it may be of interest to vintage decorative design collectors.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
