Genoese Pray God Made Of Polychrome-painted Wood – Italy, Genoa, 18th Century
18th-century Genoese domestic pray god made of painted and polychrome wood, with Rocaille-style decoration.
It features an upper section with a sloped top, surmounting a small cabinet that opens with two doors, and a projecting lower section forming a kneeler. The piece is adorned with a rich painted decoration of Rocaille cartouches featuring turquoise-blue volutes, embellished with floral bouquets, foliage, and garlands delicately rendered on an ivory-white background.
