About the Item

Italian Giltwood Lion Pediment, 18th Century – Hand-Carved Antique Décor Bring a sense of grandeur and old-world craftsmanship to your interior with this 18th Century Italian Giltwood Lion Pediment. Exquisitely hand-carved in Italy, this antique architectural element features two regal lions facing a central shield or coat of arms, symbolizing strength, nobility, and protection. Crafted from solid wood and finished in rich, time-worn gilt, the pediment is adorned with intricate scrollwork and foliate (leaf) carvings in the Baroque style—a hallmark of 18th-century Italian design.
