Large pair of gilded wood consoles

Large pair of giltwood wall consoles with foliate decoration.

The openwork frieze, enlivened by a dynamic design of scrolls, foliage, stylized shells, and rocaille motifs, supports a red Flanders marble top.

The openwork wall supports meet at a central pedestal decorated with stylized shells and pine cones.

Designed to add rhythm to a wall display in a large living room or entryway, these highly decorative consoles, typical of 18th-century Italian craftsmanship, are defined by a controlled theatricality, harmonious, flowing carvings, and elegant proportions.

This pair is particularly distinguished by its size and duality.

Probably Italian, 18th century
