Pair Of Wall Consoles In Carved Wood With Cherub Heads And Putti And Foliage From The 19th Century

Pair of large wall consoles* in carved wood (pine), decorated with two cherubs' heads and foliage, from the 19th century. These consoles are in good general condition and are of high quality. Traces of gilding on the tops. Please note: a piece of leaf has been repaired on a console, a piece on the side is split and weakened (it will need to be glued back together), small accident and missing wood at the bottom of a console, some cracks and wear from time, look carefully at the photos (see red arrows). *Called "wall consoles", the consoles are often placed against woodwork, a trumeau, between two windows or two doors. Under Napoleon III, we see the rebirth of consoles with important plant ornaments. (extract from the Larousse Dictionary of Antiques and Flea Markets).
