AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of wall shelves in Louis XV style, characterized by a refined decorative arrangement and a harmoniously flowing silhouette, a typical expression of French Rococo taste.
Made in carved wood, the shelves feature a slender and visually light structure, enriched by sinuous lines and curved profiles that confer dynamism and balance to the whole.
The decorative apparatus is defined by rocaille motifs, volutes and finely sculpted curls, distinctive elements of the Louis XV style. The artisanal craftsmanship clearly emerges in the quality of the carvings and the fluidity of the forms.
The gilded finish, highlighted by an antique patina, enhances the visual depth of the surfaces and emphasizes the play of light and shadow created by the relief decorations. Natural tonal variations and slight signs of time contribute to the authentic vintage charm of the piece.
The shelves are in generally good condition, with normal and physiological signs of wear consistent with age and use.
