Pair of Early 18th Century Régence Carved Giltwood Pilasters
About the Item
Pair of Régence carved and giltwood pilaster, comprising a composite capital as it was known from Roman times. The corners are finished with scrolling volutes, the abacus carries egg and dart ornament above acanthus leaves, their tops curling forward. The pilasters as such are framed with the inner panel finely carved with the typical shallow relief manner of the Régence period. The low relief ornament includes ribbon tight acanthus leaves that are highlighted by its burnished gilding forming a contrast to the decorative 'toolwork' (zig zag pattern) that had been applied into the gesso prior to the gilding, forming the background.
Such lavish, multi-layered decoration of this kind was typical of French interiors of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Measures: The pilasters stand 286 cm tall, with a width of 50 cm (capital) and 30cm (pilaster) and depth of 17 cm (capitel) and 5cm (pilaster).
Provenance: private collection Ni^mes (France).
