AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of impressive baroque sculptural consoles – carved and finely gilded wood – approximately 70 cm – 7.6 kg each
Pieces of great decorative presence, crafted in richly carved solid wood, with pronounced volumetry and abundant vegetal decoration in the full Baroque/Rocaille language. The gilding features a very expressive antique patina, with warm tones of gold and bolus red, imparting depth and character.
The consoles exhibit a solid structure, substantial weight (7.6 kg each), and an uncommon scale for this type of architectural elements, reaching about 70 cm in height. They are suitable for use as wall supports, scenic elements, entrance decorations, or as standalone sculptures.
Works of this scale and theatricality are typical of handcrafted productions from the 20th century inspired by the Baroque models of Southern Europe (France, Italy, Portugal). The manual carving, stylized leaves, and the undulating movement of the volutes demonstrate excellent decorative savoir-faire.
Approximate dimensions
Height: 70 cm
Base: 28–30 cm
Depth: 20–22 cm
Weight: 7.6 kg each.
Unique decorative pieces with a strong visual impact, perfect for classic, eclectic, or palatial-inspired interiors.
The piece, well protected with the box and the respective protections, weighs about 19 kg in total; the shipping costs are additional.
Substantially.
Seller's Story
I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history.
I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
