Decorative console in carved wood, antique style (Carlos X), Carvalho wood, from Portugal, dimensions 30 cm wide by 12 cm high by 11 cm deep, weight 400 g, in good condition with minor signs of aging and stains.
Description from the seller
Beautiful antique architectural/decorative element in solid wood, carved, with a symmetric shape and strong ornamental character.
The piece presents a centralized composition, handmade with volutes, stylized leaves and vegetal motifs, forming a decoration of Baroque/Rococo inspiration. The carving is deep and shows different relief levels, highlighting the craftsmanship.
At the top there is a sort of cornice or projecting cap, with incised geometric and vegetal motifs. The lower composition is dominated by two large symmetric volutes, joined by a central leaf/ornamental element, ending in a small hanging decoration.
The wood shows a dark natural patina, with tonal variations and signs of aging. It currently has no gilding or paint visible, allowing direct appreciation of the texture and the carving work.
The back is of simpler execution and clearly reveals the wood, tool marks, irregularities and signs of use/handling. It also preserves a small original metal mounting bracket for suspension.
Approximate dimensions
* Width: 33 cm
* Height: 13 cm
* Thickness: approximately 2–3 cm
Condition
Vintage/antique condition, with wear and marks arising from age and use. Small cracks, abrasions, irregularities in the wood and signs of intervention/handling are present, especially on the back. The carving remains broadly well preserved, maintaining its decorative elements and symmetry.
An interesting piece for collectors of carved wood, antique architectural decoration and historical decorative elements, which can likewise be used as an autonomous decorative object or integrated into a restoration/interior project.
