Late 17th-century Carved And Gilded Wooden Wall Console

A Baroque wall console made of richly carved and gilded wood, originating from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and crafted in the late 17th century.
The composition, rich in Baroque detail, is organized around two winged putti with youthful faces and abundantly curly hair, emerging from a swirl of clouds and foliage.
The figures are framed by an elaborate decoration of scrollwork, leaves, and volutes, while the upper section consists of a scalloped shelf painted to resemble marble.
The sculpture features a particularly vigorous relief, with deep carvings that lend great movement to the whole.
The Mecca gilding, with its warm, patinated tones, contributes to the theatrical character of this Baroque work.
In good overall condition.
Period gilding and patina with some isolated signs of wear consistent with the piece’s age.
