"18th Century Sculpted Head Of A Woman On A Console Table"
An architectural or furniture element in carved oak, representing the bust of a woman with a marked expression, wearing a pleated bonnet tied on her forehead. The flat, circular top indicates that it is a wall console or cul-de-lamp, formerly integrated into a refined interior decor. The expressive face, deep wrinkles, and peasant headdress evoke an 18th-century provincial sculpture, realistic and full of character. The wood, an old oak, has a beautiful dark patina and traces of time that in no way affect its solidity.
