Antique French Renaissance Relief Carved Mantel Bookcase Art Display Knight Bird.
Direct from France to us, this exquisite hand carved … more Antique French Renaissance Relief Carved Mantel Bookcase Art Display Knight Bird.
Direct from France to us, this exquisite hand carved “work of art”, almost 6 ft. in length!!!
The details are amazing, with birds sitting across the upper ledge, surrounded by carved floral, foliage and vines that overhang FOUR separate carved scene panels….and what a story the panels tell!!
There are dancing maidens, oxen, knights with a fair lady in front of a castle, a townsman hiding in a barrel, and Romanesque knight with a sword!!!
Also note the band of carved flowers in the middle of the cobblestone carved platform that features a hidden drawer.
This is one of the most intriguing finds from our most recent French shipment, and certain to be a conversation piece in any home, with its large size and stunning design. Imagine it over a fireplace or as the focal point in a bookcase or on a sideboard.
Excellently crafted by a master carver in the late 1800s/turn of the century, possibly as a top piece to a large cabinet or armoire. The center panel is inscribed “D. Roger”, possibly the artist's name.
Measurements: 21.5” ht. x 55.5” x 6”.
NOTE: All of our antiques are direct from Europe. I personally select each item for the quality, design, and unique characteristics that you will always find in our distinctive inventory at Geaux Vintage Antiques. …” with all that, why ‘Geaux’ anywhere else?” … less
