Description from the seller
Pair of Italian wall consoles dating from the 1930s, made of carved spruce wood and finely hand-decorated with polychrome floral motifs in a Baroque/Rococo-inspired taste.
The pieces feature a sinuous and light silhouette, with carved legs and a shaped front fascia, expression of the refined Italian decorative revival of the early twentieth century.
The painted decoration, done by hand, preserves a pleasant antique patina enhanced by a recent conservative restoration carried out with:
- watercolor touch-ups
- traditional shellac finish
- structural consolidation
The consoles are original in all their parts except the rear, which has been replaced over time to ensure greater stability.
The photographs show in detail:
- the quality of the manual painting
- the carved leg workmanship
- the surface with natural craquelure and signs of time
- the luster obtained through traditional shellac polishing
Perfect as a decorative element for entryways, living rooms, bedrooms or shabby chic and eclectic environments.

Hand-painted polychrome
Shellac finish
