Grand Carved Wooden Niche – Italian Baroque, 18th Century

About the Item

A magnificent example of 18th-century Italian Baroque craftsmanship, this grand polychrome and gilded wooden niche embodies the opulence and theatricality of the period. At its center, a gracefully carved stylized shell radiates outward, framed by two charming putti in the upper spandrels—classic symbols of Baroque exuberance. The painted faux-marble background enhances its rich visual depth, a hallmark of Italian Baroque design, which sought to create movement, drama, and grandeur through elaborate ornamentation. Likely once part of a church interior, this niche was designed to enshrine a saintly statue, elevating its spiritual presence. Measuring 125 cm in height, 86 cm in width, and 41 cm in depth, it carries the marks of time, adding to its authenticity. A rare and striking piece of sacred art history.
