Description from the seller
Ancient capital in gilded and finely carved lacquered wood
An important Italian capital carved and gilded, from Florence, made between the late 19th century and the early 20th century. The piece features rich relief decoration with foliate motifs, volutes, and central floral elements, executed with notable artisanal skill.
The structure is characterized by a compact body with carved sides on every face, embellished by broad spiral volutes and deeply carved acanthus leaves. The gilding, with an antique finish and multicolored lacquer in the underlying parts, gives depth and movement to the piece, highlighting the sculpted details.
The upper part presents a contoured surface with incised floral decorations and traces of antique polychromy, evidence of the piece’s originality. The molded base, likewise shaped and lacquered, completes the stately, scenographic aesthetic of the work.
A highly charming architectural element, ideal as a decorative piece, a base for sculpture, or a striking furnishing accessory for classical or prestigious interiors.
