MID 19th CENTURY PAIR OF CORNER LITTLE SHELVES IN GILDED WOOD
About the Item
These two corner little shelves in carved pine wood gilded with pure gold leaf represent a valuable and refined work of Florentine manufacturing from the mid-19th century. Made with high craftsmanship, these shelves combine the functionality of an object for storing objects or decorating a corner of the room, with the elegant and refined aesthetics of the period. The shelves are decorated with a crumpled "cartoccio" foliage motif, a typical element of the neoclassical style of the time. This motif consists of stylized leaves folded and wrapped around themselves, recreating a scenographic sensation of movement and vitality. This design is a nod to the classical past and the rediscovery of the art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, which were of great inspiration to 19th century Florentine art. Finally, the pure gold leaf gilding gives the two shelves a luxurious and precious elegance.
