Pair of Italian Friezes 18th Century Blue Painted Gilwood Wall Decorative Panels

About the Item

Pair of 1700s Italian Wall Decorative Panels, a pair of blue laquer vertical frieze dating back to late 18th century, with a stunning  hand-carved gilded relief  candelabra decoration of Rinascimental taste. Made of lime wood, this pair of antique decorative Italian friezes, rectangular and vertical architectural fragments  were probably part of a liturgical decorative complex. Originally framed by frames now missing, as reveals the irregular, unfinished edges. The decorative candelabra relief motif is very classical, hand-carved by alternating love knots, foliage, floral patterns, grapes - symbol of abundance - pomegranates symbol of life, marriage and rebirth,  gilded with an original gold-leaf gilding,  highlighting the blue tempera-painted background. The two panels are in a good condition consistent with age and use, beautiful original patina, missing profiles and some minor flaws in the gilding. They have a hook at the bottom top for hanging vertically. They come from a private villa in Milan, where they were used as flanking door ornaments. Northern Italy, 1700.
