Blue and White Painted Antique Door from Lombardy, Italy circa 1850

A unique architectural from Italy, hand carved in oak circa 1850, this interior door has been painted a grayish-blue color and adorned with golden geometric and foliate motifs on two rectangular panels with recessed molding. The top panel is aligned in a vertical fashion, with a lion mascaron at the top that is surrounded by curled leaves. Beneath the lion’s face is a beautiful Roman-style foliate arabesque flanked by a pair of roundels with vine-like tendrils. The second panel beneath is much smaller and has a horizontal orientation. In the center is a vase-form embellishment, encircled by sinuous foliage. Most of the hardware has been removed, with the exception of two gudgeons (collars) from pintle hinges on the side.

This beautiful pair of antique doors was hand-painted in Italy, circa 1780. Each door features three symmetrical recessed geometric panels with thick molding. The top and bottom panels are rectangles with one canted side, while the larger center section is an elongated rectangle with curved ends and linear extensions. All three panels have been painted with a green and gold Roman-style foliate arabesque. Both center sections also have white swags attached to the arabesque by gold bows and golden urns filled with greenery beneath foliate canopies. The rest of the doors have been painted gold and adorned with additional green arabesque. The doors are inset five-and-a-half inches from the attached jamb, which has a faux marble finish depicting a cream and gray marble with black veining. There is a cavetto cornice along the edges, with a cream quarter round molding near the inside. At over eight and a half feet tall, this pair of antique painted Italian...

The reign of Napoleon III, often referred to as “The Second Empire”, featured an amalgamation of styles from previous regimes, ranging from the light and airy Rococo of Louis XV to the more stoic Neoclassical trophies of Louis XVI. Our painted giltwood overdoor from circa 1850 is in the vein of a Regence or Louis XV adaptation of the Napoleon III period. The piece is adorned with flowing motifs inspired by nature, such as the curled leaves, scalloped shell, and deep carvings seen on the overdoor. A main principle of Napoleon III furnishings was to utilize every inch available, as noted by the gadrooned leaf and rinceaux that emanate from behind the center medallion, forming a sprawling border. The medallion features an amazing high relief carving of a floral bouquet surrounded by curled leaves with scrolled tendrils and raised, asymmetrical panels. At the top is a scalloped shell, which is mimicked by a pair of parted leaves set at an angle in each of the upper corners. All of the carvings are presented in giltwood, which pairs nicely with the cream colored background that is enveloped in a quarter round molding (also gilded). The entire grouping is presented as a raised carving, with a thin board behind it that has tas de sable (sandpit) pilasters topped with block finials flanking the overdoor. Unique to most other antique overdoors...
