About the Item

Suggestive decorative frieze from the Veneto or Veneto-Emilian area, datable to the 18th century. Entirely hand-carved in solid wood, it features polychrome lacquered decoration in blue and green with rich golden highlights, partially original. Of great visual impact and remarkable plastic depth, the frieze is characterized by a highly animated framework, rich in volutes, foliage, and rocaille elements, arranged symmetrically around a central heart-shaped heraldic coat of arms: inside it is depicted a crowned personage, perhaps a prince or ruler, holding a scepter and resting on top of a crenellated tower. The origin of the coat of arms has not yet been precisely identified. The central mirror, now present, has been replaced with an antiqued modern one, consistent with the whole. The original suspension hook is still visible on the back, while reinforcing brackets were added at a later time at the bottom. Some areas of the blue lacquering appear to have been resumed, while the gilding appears to be original period gilding for the most part. Dimensions: Height: 108 cm Width: 156 cm Condition: Good overall state of preservation. Some signs of time, scattered restorations to lacquer, solid structure and intact carving. Wonderful decorative piece of furniture, ideal as a door overlay, monumental mirror or scenic element. Shipping available worldwide. Contact us for more pictures, videos or information.
