Pair Of Italian Baroque Sconce Brackets In Carved Wood-italy, Second Half 18th Century

Majestic, theatrical and profoundly Italian, this pair of wall brackets from the second half of the XVIIIᵉ century embodies late Baroque aesthetics at its most virtuosic.

Each piece is carved entirely from a single block of wood, without gluing, a rare technical tour de force that testifies to a workshop of the very highest order.

The decoration, abundant and rhythmic, unfurls a typically Italian ornamental vocabulary: powerful scrolls, blossoming roses, nervous foliage, all brought to life by a deep green patina enhanced by bronze highlights that catch the light and emphasize the richness of the relief.

Their visual presence is masterful:

• 42 cm wide,
• 33 cm high,
• 20 cm deep,
• 2 kg per console, or 4 kg per pair.

An imposing size that makes them architectural decorative objects, capable of structuring a wall, vestibule or niche as fragments of an Italian palace would.

Very good overall condition:

• A little wear on the bottom of one console, almost invisible in the profusion of decoration.
• An old crack in the upper part, visible on photo but without any structural impact.
• Each console has two original wall-mounting rings.

These consoles are late Italian Baroque, with a rococo touch in the movement of the scrolls and the sensuality of the foliage. A theatrical, expressive decorative style made to magnify space.
