About the Item
18th Century, Pair of Italian Carved Lacquered and Giltwood Benches
This pair of elegant benches was crafted in the second half of the 18th century in Central Italy. The structure of the benches is made of carved wood, lacquered and gilded. The under-seat band is moulded and curved, lacquered in shades of blue-green. Surrounded by a gilded reserve, the band is decorated with gilded wood reliefs in a floral motif. Each bench is supported by eight inverted-cone legs, fluted, lacquered and gilded, with a circular capital and gilded tip. From the seat extend two armrests, characterised by arched, flowing elements that culminate in scrolls, adorned with gilded floral decorations.
The pair of benches, stable and refined, is highly decorative and offers great presence. The benches can be placed side by side or interspersed with consoles and chests. They are suitable for use in entrances, corridors, salons, or studies, and can be paired with both antique and modern furnishings.

18th Century, pair of Italian Rococo carved giltwood benches.
This elegant pair of two-seater benches was built in the second half of the 18th century in Rome, Italy. The structure, in richly carved and gilded wood, has the characteristics of the Baroque period.
The band under the seat has a mixed profile and is carved with rocaille motifs and rich floral decoration in relief in the central part. The four legs, curved and moved, have on the uprights the same carvings and in the terminal part of the foot emerges a scroll. The rear uprights, carved with curled end, are higher than the seat, in order to slender the image of the benches vertically.
The seat is lined with velvet from a later period.
These benches can be exhibited in pairs or individually in entrances or corridors, in living rooms and studios or in a room at the foot of the bed. They can also be placed below large paintings. Very decorative, bright and graceful, they are suitable both in contexts characterized by antique and modern furniture.

18th Century, Pair of Italian Neoclassical Lacquered and Giltwood Consoles
Located in IT
18th century, pair of Italian neoclassical lacquered and giltwood consoles
This pair of consoles was made in the second half of the 18th century in the neoclassical era, in Naples (Italy)
The carved and lacquered wooden consoles are composed of two half-moon tops lacquered with fake jasper. The band below the floor is sculpted in the ways of Classic grooved friezes, lacquered with light color and gold. The four legs are also grooved lacquered and golden and end in quadrangular feet.
These consoles are very elegant and refined for the simplicity of their line and color. Consoles with two shelves are also quite rare. These allow greater flexibility in their use: in fact, in the lower shelf it is possible to expose, for example, vases with flowers, porcelain, books or other decorative objects in addition to what is placed above or offend the ability to lighten the top floor from too many objects.
For their small size and especially for the particular depth of the floors, very narrow, and for the distinctly decorative character, these consoles are easily inserted in any environment. They are in fact perfect in the entrances or in the corridors, in a living room or a study, exposed in pairs or individually. The light color also makes them pleasant next to antique and modern furniture.
