Baroque style Capital - 19th century - Leaf Decoration

A 19th-century Baroque corbel, carved in wood and water-gilded, embodying the ornamental exuberance typical of the period. Its robust and sinuous silhouette is articulated around a play of volutes and acanthiform leaves deeply pierced, unfolding with an ascending and theatrical rhythm. The gilding, applied over a stucco base, preserves areas of dulled shine and others of pronounced wear, revealing the patina of time and the nobility of the materials.

Cracks, losses and visible flaking do not detract from beauty, but rather add authenticity and character, evoking its probable origin from an altarpiece, cornice, or architectural structure in a religious or courtly setting. The carving, expertly executed, combines dynamism and symmetry, with a vegetal language that flows between the sculptural and the decorative. This piece not only reflects the scenographic taste of Spanish Baroque, but also the artisanal sensibility of an era that sought to move viewers through form, brilliance, and movement.
