The wood was then given a distressed painted finish with antiqued wine colored surfaces to help set off your objet d'art, or to just beautify the room without anything on the surface! Such a pair would have been considered essential wall accessories to any well-designed room plan, as they add both flair and surface area, with frequent use as a candlestick platform for additional illumination in the room. Today they can be used to accent an otherwise bland cased opening, or anywhere a little architectural accent would spice things up!
