Description from the seller
In this special auction, an important antique pair of wall appliques in wood with gold leaf, featuring two central oil-on-panel paintings.
The central hand-painted reserves are elegant in XVIIIth-century style, recalling polychrome floral motifs.
The refined light-bearing arms in gilded metal and the original finishes give the whole ensemble a timeless charm, ideal for furnishing important classical or historic homes and residences of notable prestige.
The meticulous carving workmanship and rich gilding highlight a high level of artistic craftsmanship typical of the Florentine decorative tradition of the 18th century -
Excellent antique patina with natural signs of wear that attest to its authenticity and history.
Pieces of exceptional value rarely found on the market as a pair.
Visibly there are ancient restorations and retouchings to have brought them to the present day.
Congratulations to the winner of this rare auction.
