Pair of French Antique early 18th-century Carved Wooden Gilded Corner Consoles

About the Item

On offer here is a stunning pair of 100% original gold leaf gilt and polished corner consoles, meticulously hand-carved from solid linden wood. Made in southern France around 1710, these consoles are beautifully executed in the Baroque style, featuring a centrally placed shell flanked by scrolls, acanthus, and floral motifs. The top boasts an elegant gadrooned profile. The consoles have always been mounted on the wall at an optimal height, which has preserved the gold leaf remarkably well. The quality of the gilding is extraordinary, especially considering the age of these pieces and it boasts a fantastic metallic shine. The consoles exhibit numerous small woodworm holes throughout. The woodworm has not been active for decades, and we have treated the consoles preventively once more. Additionally, there are some visible shrinkage cracks where the pieces of linden wood were glued together and partially separated. Despite these, the consoles remain structurally very solid. These corner consoles are architectural elements, and given the imprint on one of the consoles, they likely held decorative vases. These exquisite pieces are a testament to fine craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
