AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Baroque-style ventilators from an estimated 19th century.
The ventilators have a wooden support with a sheet embossed and chased in silvered bronze on top.
The sheet is decorated with Baroque motifs, scrolls, and with terminals and leaves. A mirror is absent but a non-original glass is present.
They are notable because the casings of the two ventilators are mirror-imaged relative to each other, making them ideal to place to the right and left of a furnishing accessory.
Good overall condition, with original period silvering partly missing, which reveals the pleasant patina of the metal underneath. At the back there are some cracks in the wood, which do not affect the structure as it is held securely by the overlying sheet. They could be stabilized with a bit of glue, but we preferred to leave them original.
External dimensions: 41.5 x 29.5 x 3 cm approx.
Internal dimensions: 24.5 x 14.2 cm at most (not a regular octagon).
