A particular and rare antique wall shelf in walnut wood with carved detailing and pine (central structure), dating from the 19th century. The style is typically described as Neo-Renaissance, or Baroque, characterized by rich decorative carvings, with a dark finish that enhances the natural grain of the walnut and the depth of the highly elaborate carvings with scroll motifs (volutes), foliage and central decorations in the shape of a pine cone (upper) and a stylized shell (lower). It can be used both as a hanging shelf or a wall-mounted shelf, most likely it was designed as a pipe rack.
