Set of 4 Antique French Carved Oak Medallion Busts, Circa 1890

About the Item

Hand-carved circa 1890, this set of four oak medallion busts depict four unknown members of nobility, as evidenced by their attire and crowning headpieces. The original finish has been stripped more recently, giving the carvings a beige appearance, which is offset nicely by the painted black stands. Each bust is in profile (two figures are facing left, while two face right) and encircled by a cavetto cornice followed by a thicker outer molding. The noblemen have been carved in low relief with various cloaks or collared overcoats and either a closed crown or a lounging cap. Our set of four carved oak medallion busts can be placed on a mantel or library shelf, making for fantastic decorative accessories.
