AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare pedestal/base for figurines, all made of thick wood, of very good quality, painted green and gold, decorated with 4 Portuguese-origin tiles, which should date from the late 18th century to the early 19th century.
The wooden base should be from the mid-20th century, and it is indeed in very good condition. The tiles: 3 of them are in good condition, only showing the signs of the passing years; the last, unfortunately, has a significant crack as can be seen in the photos.
An unusual and very beautiful piece.
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.
