Pair of tall solid wood plant pedestals with glazed ceramic decorative panels in the Art Nouveau style, estimated period 1950–1960, each approximately 95 cm high and 27 cm wide, two pieces sold only as a pair, with floral ceramic motifs and signs of age patina.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of tall solid wood pedestals/plant stands, featuring a slender framework and rectangular glazed ceramic plaques with multicolored floral decorations.
The two pedestals share the same construction: square wooden top, four long uprights, openwork vertical elements and shaped crosspieces in the central and lower portions.
The ceramic plaques constitute the main decorative element. The motifs differ between the two pieces but are conceived in the same style: one features a large pink flower with dark green leaves on an ivory background, while the other presents a more elaborate floral decoration in tones of red, green, yellow and violet.
On the ceramic surface, the glaze craquelure is visible, particularly evident in the plaque with the pink flower.
By constructional and decorative characteristics, the pair can be linked to the Eclectic/Liberty (Art Nouveau) taste of the first half of the 20th century, with Orientalist references widespread in European furnishings of the period.
The wood retains its finish and shows grain clearly, especially on the upper surfaces. There are marks, small abrasions and irregularities compatible with age and use, clearly documented in the photographs. The pair presents overall in excellent condition.
Suitable for original use as planters or as pedestals for ceramics, sculptures and other decorative objects.
Sold exclusively as a pair.
Materials: solid wood and glazed ceramic
Attributed period: first half of the 20th century
Style: Eclectic / Liberty with Orientalist influences
Number of elements: 2
Conditions: excellent, with normal signs and patina compatible with age and use.
The pedestals were purchased from an antique dealer in my city and, at the time of purchase, had already undergone conservative restoration. Since then they have been carefully preserved and regularly cleaned and polished using products specifically for the maintenance and care of antique wood. The wood retains a beautiful patina and shows the usual traces of time and use, visible in the photographs.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and show in detail the state of preservation of the two objects.
Note: to avoid undocumented attributions, no precise dating is given; the pair is offered on the basis of visible stylistic and construction characteristics.
Given the size of the pedestals and my work commitments, I do not ship; pickup is entirely at the buyer’s expense.
