Pair of carved and gilded wooden overdoor friezes from around 1750, decorations with plant motifs ideal for surmounting a door jamb. Probably coming from ancient mirrors, these ancient eighteenth-century cornices are made of fine lime wood, known for its workability and beauty. Mecca gilding gives them a bright and rich appearance, typical of the baroque style.
The two horizontal volutes that make up the structure are exquisitely carved with acanthus leaves and leaf elements; they are also supported by a central frieze, making each piece one of a kind. Compatibly with the eighteenth-century dating, this pair of golden friezes presents restorations, additions and consolidations, which have allowed them to preserve their original charm, making them ready to be inserted into any environment.
Of Italian origin, this pair of overdoor friezes represent not only a furnishing element, but also a piece of history and craftsmanship that enriches any space with its refinement and distinctive character. Perfect for those who want to bring a touch of classic elegance into their home. less
