About the Item
Exquisite Renaissance Revival Giltwood Griffin Bracket Shelf
This magnificent large shelf originates from the British Renaissance Revival period and is exquisitely finished in gesso and giltwood. Its luxurious and opulent design makes it a rare find for an opulent home.
Adorned with intricate Renaissance decorative motifs, the shelf features two griffins flanking either side. Griffins, symbols of power, vigilance, and strength, add a sense of grandeur and elegance to the piece, making it highly prized during its time.
Crafted from solid wood, the back of the shelf reveals the fine craftsmanship techniques used in its creation, showcasing exceptional quality and attention to detail. This striking shelf would not look out of place in either a traditional or modern home.
Historical Background: The Renaissance Revival, or Neo-Renaissance, period emerged in the mid-19th century as part of the Victorian era, continuing into the early 20th century. This period saw a renewed interest in the classical art and architecture of the original Renaissance, which spanned from the 14th to the 17th century. Griffins, mythical creatures were popular decorative motifs during both the Renaissance and Renaissance Revival periods.
The combination of giltwood and griffins on this bracket shelf reflects the opulence and craftsmanship of the era, creating a timeless piece that adds historical charm and sophistication to any interior setting.
