Centrepiece (2) - Gilt brass - Pair of wall panels

Pair of decorative panels in brass and hand-painted porcelain – Female portraits – Late 19th / early 20th century

Elegant pair of wall decorative panels, consisting of intricately ornate brass frames housing central porcelain plaques painted by hand.
The female portraits, treated with great finesse, show historical inspiration reminiscent of the Renaissance, with particularly meticulous work on the faces, complexions and drapery. The painting quality speaks to high-level artisanal craftsmanship.
The brass frames, finely decorated with vegetal motifs and scrolls, provide a strong and refined decorative presence. The porcelain plaques bear an incised mark with the letter “B,” corresponding to a European workshop, without precise attribution.
The patina is antique and uniform. Overall, in very good condition, with only slight signs of wear consistent with age.
A decoratively elegant ensemble, ideal for a classical interior, a cabinet of curiosities or a collection of European porcelain.
