About the Item

Charming painted wood neo-Pompeian console and its mirror. The console, resting on four feet, is decorated with olive branches, two-tone triangle friezes and frieze of flowers on the belt, on a red background. The console is surmounted by a large matching mirror adorned with geometrical patterns, insects on the angles and stylized flowers. Measures: Total height 264 cm (103.9 in.) - Console = Height 98 cm (38.5 in.); Width 173 cm (68.1 in.); Depth 50.5 cm (19,8 in.) / Mirror = Height 166 cm (65.3 in.) ; Width 140 cm (55.1 in.) ; Depth 17 cm (6.7 in.) This console is probably the work of an artist inspired by what he saw during a Grand Tour. It was at first a long educational trip in Europe made mainly by young men from the highest social classes of European society. This practice emerged around the middle of the 16th century and reached its peak in the 18th century. The main destinations were Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. Young people would buy art and antiques, and visit ancient Roman ruins as well the recently discovered Herculanum and Pompeii. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Grand Tour was made by artists, art amateurs, collectors and writers. .
