Decorative ornament - Italy - Ancient Tables

Pair of ancient hand-painted wooden ceiling boards, in apartments with ceilings from the same building in different environments.

This type of artifact was traditionally used to decorate the panels or the framework of wooden ceilings in historic palaces or old houses. Here is the detailed description of both boards:

Structure and Support
Material: These are vertical solid wood boards, showing evident and fascinating signs of time, such as natural wear, cracks, and alterations in the wood grain that enhance their authenticity.
Subdivision: Both boards are longitudinally divided into geometric rectangular compartments, bounded by painted frames that create a sequence of faux decorative panels.
Left Board (Selected Region)
Ornamental Motif: Features a decoration of volutes and ramified motifs in Baroque or Renaissance style, characterized by flowing lines that intertwine symmetrically.
Central Elements: In the center of each panel stands an oval element or medallion painted in gold and ochre yellow tones.
Color Palette: The dominant color is a deep emerald/teal green that contrasts with the light gray-blue background and warm yellow details.
Right Board
Ornamental Motif: This board differs by a purely floral and geometric decoration. Each compartment contains a large central rosette or a stylized multi-petaled flower.
Details: The geometries surrounding the flowers recall star motifs or arabesques, giving the board a slightly more geometric look compared to the sinuous volutes of the first.
Color Palette: Maintains the same green and teal base, but introduces reddish or pinkish hues in the petals of the central flowers, creating a warm-cool contrast.
