Pair Of Carved Wooden Side Tables, Italy, Circa 1900
A pair of carved wooden wall sconces, gilded, silvered, and polychromed, depicting two young Moors with their arms raised, supporting a scalloped shelf.
The figures, whose faces and arms are painted black, wear richly ornamented costumes against a gilded and silvered background.
These consoles follow the tradition of the Mori, decorative figures characteristic of Venetian furniture, which were particularly popular beginning in the 17th century and revived during the 19th century.
Italian work, likely Venetian, from the late 19th century.
